  1. This perfume is perfect for my spring and summer night outs. At first, on my skin, you get clear notes of strawberry, patchouli, and blueberry. Then it dries down to a woodier scent. It’s elegant yet casual, soft and not overwhelming. I’m not sure it works well in winter—it lacks creaminess—but for those who don’t like the heat of oriental scents, this might be a hit. It’s not that generic flat floral woody musk; it evolves over time and settles into a sweet wood without being suffocating like many patchoulis. Refined and classy.
