I was hoping I'd be different and smell something good from this like all the other "thumbs-uppers" here. Nope, it smells like an unwashed human. *foghorn*

One of those fragrances for which I just have to put my thumb down because of a very simple reason : I felt absolutely uncomfortable wearing this, and I really wouldn`t want to smell this on a woman either.
Interesting in a way, no doubt, but quite horrible in action.

Really mediocre. Powder + something sweet + sweaty cumin note. And it is not a feminine sweat! Its powdery base reminds a lot of My Queen. Both fragrances are nothing special.

Pros: The bottle is very original. The scent is very original. I love McQueen's designs in general.

Cons: It smells like I have eaten Indian food, exercised and not showered for an entire week. Way too much cumin for me to handle. I feel the same way about Eau d'Hermes.

The BO note in this is absolutely nauseating. I've smelled way too many guys like this on a fishing trawler on an 8-Day trip. It's like they woke up with last week's clothes still on and decided to dust their armpits with cumin to disguise the odor. It wasn't the odor of private parts, just wide open armpits. I envy those who could smell other aspects, but this would make me throw up if I had to wear it more than 15 minutes. Nose searing.

I wanted to like this, I really did. The bottle is gorgeous and I was so intrigued by the reviews that I felt I needed to try it.
I tested it twice on tester strips and both times, got lemons. Lemons! Where was the cumin? Where was the raw, earthy, spicy smell of unwashed bodies so many people had commented on?
I went back today and tested it on my arm. Still lemons. Then, after a few hour, faint, slightly musty lemons.
I have to say I'm disappointed. I don't understand why I'm not smelling the other notes. Too bad.

Why someone would want to smell like an 80 year old hooker, with ripped fishnet stockings, is beyond me....

A little too feminine to my nose... with little to no substance. Nice bottle though, if only the juice inside were half as interesting.

Top: unwashed & unshaven armpits dusted with cumin
Heart: a whiff of rosewater
Base: Nada!
If that sounded alluring, go for it!
