Oh wow. Ok do not depend on what you smell from the bottle with this one. It was giving a kind of delicious cherry scent from the bottle, which was actually nice. Then I put it on, and I get the loveliest notes! I smell a little fresh yet a bit sweet (not really like candy) and like a nice hug? The book pages come out here and there, and I’m glad they’re not too strong or sharp, or it would be too much. I just know I smell like I was in a really good smelling library from putting this on! This turned out to be a really comforting perfume. I think it could even be an every day scent, especially if you like something a little different.
