Adam Levine for Women (2013)
by Adam Levine

I really liked the scent & wear it often as it isn't over powering. However, I find the price point for the quality quite unbalanced. I first found it at Kohl's $50.00 for 2.5 ml. And later bought it online from ebay, which I would caution all purchasers to know your seller. I bought several expensive perfumes from one particular seller and all were prepared so that the atomizer had the real perfume, so your first few sprays you would think it was real thing, thereafter finding only such watered down cologne it barely scented the air for 1 minute then dissipated.

So I am unsure if the 2nd bottle I purchased is authentic. I have tried the original Kohls purchase and the "testor" and they both don't seem to linger the full day. After 3 hours. This is the EDT but I have purchased other EDT's and they last most of the day.

Yesterday I sampled Spiritueuse Double Vanille, but the vanilla in that one was too strong. In this one, it's just right (if you want a vanilla scent of this type), though I don't think you'll like this if you hate vanilla. In any case, the drydown is rich and natural smelling, and even has reasonably good depth! The balance is fairly good too, though perhaps just a bit more vanillic than I'd like (and not enough sandalwood). I don't get much saffron, other than perhaps in the top notes, so that shouldn't be an issue for those who dislike that note. And I agree with CDGfan over at Fragrantica, in that this has a specific kind of jasmine/incense feel (I didn't know the name of it but she apparently does). Overall, this is one that I'll likely keep, as I can use it for layering too! Also, I consider the drydown unisex, at least for those who enjoy vintage or niche. A very nice surprise for quite a low price.

I can't diss it and I won't endorse it.
Basically, a simple woody scent.
Not sweet. No florals that I can detect. No vanilla thankfully.
Just a kind of bland, woody scent. Kinda pencil shavings. Not very exciting.
