Libertine

rosewood and chamomile with bergamot, violet, red sandalwood, primrose and Arabian musk.

I was surprised by how floral this was on me. I thought two woods, an herb and some citrus would be enough to break it up. I'm not sure if it's violet or primrose. I've recently discovered that some rose notes work on me, but I didn't care for Faustus at all. So I'm leaning towards blaming the violet, but most people don't mind violet. Even my mother, who hates florals, says that violet's okay. I guess I'll have to experiment further with other scents.

As for this one, I was hoping for more of a balance between the florals and the other notes, but they really take over.
