I get metallic note in the opening, and it lasts all the way through the run of the fragrance. I find it disagreeable. The eucalyptus might be responsible for the metallic impression, but the off note is more than that. This off note drowns out the florals that are supposed to be there, I don’t even get a suggestion of the rose, peony, or jasmine. Needless to say, Contradiction gets a thumb’s down from me.

This is definitely a dry winter scent and i agree with FroFro - it's hard to find an appropriate occasion to wear this so my bottle, although i like the scent, has been sitting for three years without too much wear.

I bought this when I wasn't very interested in perfumes, yet. Now still finding that it's a nice scent because I basically like the notes but think that it's lacking a little refinement to make it more interesting.

I love it ! There is something warm, and perhaps sandalwoodsy? I wore this for a few years and have owned several bottles of the EDT and have had 2 bad bottles, where there is some sour note, like sour lily or something. The body lotion was the same, hint of sour, and didnt work.

It sure is "Contradiction" to me. I don't quite like this scent, but I sure wore it often than I thought I would. Probably that mossy tone somewhere in this scent seducing me...

I get a heavy whiff of eucalyptus in this scent, though it is not listed as an ingredient. It's intriguing in crisp, cold weather, but can get overpowering. It's entirely unwearable in summer. I'm beginning think the main reason I keep coming back to it is the bottle -- great bottle.
