When I first used this scent, it was extremely rich and soft floral smelling.  It actually felt quite daring.  I wore it to work, and walking to the bus stop I could smell it very well.  It was so rich and full smelling, quite floral and smelled purple if that makes sense.  It just smelled quite beautiful and expensive, and borderline feminine that I was sure people were going to start looking around to find where it was coming from and then start staring at me, but for the same reasons, I was just finding this scent quite amazing.
It still does have a purple-ish smell to me, but it doesn't feel quite as daring for me anymore, though it is a daring scent in that way, and I like it quite a bit, even though it is not an old school macho type frag like the ones I normally like the most.
After using this a few more times I noticed a green kinda spicyness to it which was zingy, and I would only notice it now and then, but it was really intriguing.  Actually, now that I remember it, I got a sample from Sephora first and for the first usages that is what I sprayed.  After a while I just really loved the delicious beauty of this, and the minor nuances, and bought it online.  $100 for a 5 oz. bottle, which is pretty expensive, but Diors seem to be this way since I also got a 6.8 oz. of Fahrenheit in the same delivery also for $100.
Anyways, this is a great change up sent from the spicy 80's and 70's fragrances I tend to really love the most.
Luxurious like a thick soft cashmere scarf, lovely purple woody floral with some green later on and a fresh top note make this a real pleasure to wear.
