The first 5-7 minutes on my skin are projecting sharper musky-osmanthus combination, which I personally like a lot. What follows is the floral orange blossom, osmanthus heart, although I personally detect some jasmine thrown in for good measure. The florals dominate for about an hour giving way to the leftover osmanthus and amber with warm vanilla, which is basically what sells it to me. It is a seriously seductive perfume which has no close competition composition-wise. Quite divine, this one!

I love the warm opening composition, but the dry-down on me is very heavy sandalwood, which is not my thing. I can definitely see it being unisex, due to the heavy woody tones. The longevity of the beautiful "coke-like"(:-)) composition is unfortunately very limited, and only the linear sour wood lingers. This is not a typical CK perfume.

Absolutely lovely, my favourite white musk. Clean, a bit powdery, very gentle, very serene. Definitely no way of "knowing" it's a "male" perfume. As mentioned before, it invokes the feeling of clean linen on a sunny day.

Edit: the official website lists the notes as follows:
Head: Ylang-Ylang, Lily, Basil, Galbanum
Heart: Jasmine, Rose, Peach, Iris
Background: Vanilla, White Musks, Amber, Woody Notes, Mousse

So it will be somewhat down your alley if you are into Chanel N5, Nivea Cream/Dove and that kind of high end soapy/floral thing.

It is a spicy oriental blend with most prominent patchouli, ginger and oud notes. I can definitely feel a bit of tobacco, amber but not much vanilla. I'd prefer a bit less ginger and a bit more vanilla and amber. But having said that, I think it's a fairly nice unisex perfume.

I think rose and wood dominate this one in a slightly sour way. It lacks a bit of warmth for my liking. It reminds me a bit of the scent that was omnipresent in make up, especially lipstick, a few decades ago.
