I had a sample of this that I received with several others and first sniff didn't have much impact, fast forward about a year when I found this group of samples in the bottom of a drawer. Thinking th...

No. Not even samples. There is a component of the "no" that is personal, in that I don't have much liking or interest in pepper as a note. Love it in food, bland/mild dislike in fragrances. But th...

The cumin in this turned me off, reminds me of body odour mixed with rose leaves. And I get more coriander than rose. Thank goodness I got this at a fire sale, can't believe the price they charge for ...
