Weird scent, very green and "wet" like a dewy grass, with fruity undertones, the fruit smell is very strong but somewhat synthetic and overwhelming. Passionfruit? litchi? black currant? I don't know, it is like fruit punch...it is not horrible but a sample is more than enough for me!
As a child I made cigaretss out of horse mint leaves (Mentha longifolia). I detect it here + BIG dose of nettle + black currant leaves + nice shy sweetness. It's a very wild, "weedy" and original perfume. Try it if you search for black currant leaves/ new nettle leaves note in perfumes.
This seems to me like a bad name for an otherwise good perfume. I was expecting this to be a younger-leaning, evening time women's perfume based on the marketing, the name, the bottle, etc and this was definitely not the case. I'm a 20-something woman and on me this smells just like men's cologne. I don't think it's unisex at all. However, I sprayed it on my dad's hand and he thought it was a women's scent, and on him it smelled like women's perfume! Goes to show how it is very important to test on your skin first, especially with high quality brands that use natural oils. On me, I get a good punch of musk, a lot of patchouli, all the green notes (hence my interpretation as men's cologne) and only if I really sit here and search for the fruitier, sweeter notes do I get the rose, lychee and black currant. I typically hate rose in scents but this one is as natural smelling as rose gets and doesn't screech on my skin. The reverse was true for my dad--it truly smelled like a women's perfume, really fruity and fun and reminded me of what Good Girl by CH wished it were. It was really more of a day-time, soft sillage, every-day scent though. Either way (whether it smells like men's cologne or not), it's a good scent, just not for me as I personally don't want to smell like men's cologne (even if it is high quality). Try it on your skin first before buying because it smells different from person to person. Edit: Sprayed this in my hair and it's really grown on me. It's still unisex, leaning a bit more masculine but I'm really in love with the scent. I don't think it's "After Sunset" though, more like late afternoon at best. The person I imagine wearing this is wearing a grey T shirt, ripped jeans, loafers and a really expensive watch, drinking a top-shelf dark liquor (rum, scotch, whiskey you name it) in a bar with some really nice wood-work. Not me, but can definitely appreciate it when I smell it.
Why does every feminine marketed scent that comes out these days have black currant in it (or so it seems)? That stuff smells like straight cat pee to me no matter how little is supposedly used. I swear perfumers are using black currant to death. And don't get me started on ambroxan and amber wood...
Once this perfume settles down to its heart, I smell mostly a musty musk and patchouli. It’s really similar to a fragrance I used to smell my grandmother wearing, though I don’t know what fragrance that was. I’m not a huge fan of patchouli so this one is a pass for me.
