Dunhill London - Anyone Smelt?

I recently smelled this and thought it was great for night time, the vanilla overtone is done well, and amounts to a soothing and sweet fragrance for night. Who has smelled this, and what are your thoughts?

I was given a bottle for Christmas last year. I remember quite liking it at first, even though it's not normally the sort of fragrance I go for. Quite an unusual apple/rose milkshakey kind of thing going on - smells really nice on a woman, btw. Ultimately it was too sweet for me, so I won't be repurchasing it.
Longevity was disasterous on my skin - 2 hours at the absolute maximum. Probably more like one hour. On cloth, it faired much better and it managed to stick around during my working day (10 hours).

It is a bit synthetic and it's very mild, but to my nose, it's not the car wreck a lot of people think it is. If you work in a cool office and you like unobtrusive, milky sweet frags, give it a go. I think it's a lovely smell - I just don't want to wear it. I like the bottle very much, though.

Hmph, that's really weird! I think this is a very nice scent, it's real creamy as you point out! I like that, and it seems to last long on the paper when it was sprayed. It is like a creamy rich milkshaky scent or something along those sorts and it can in fact be worn daily!

I think it's a fine scent.

It does kind of smell like Body Kouros...or am I mistaken? And longevity totally sucks, dies within hours. BK it is.
