I totally get the association of a mediterranean pine forest, warm and full of golden light in the late afternoon, right next to a sandy beach. When the kids were small, we used to have holidays...

Nothing celery-like in this fragrance on my skin--at all! For a moment, I thought it would be too much fresh orange. The topnotes were just overflowing with it. However, it turned into...

Herbal in the top, honeyed warm in the heart and spicy smooth and dark in the base.
This is a superb amber.

I smelled smooth peppers at the beginning. Anise keeps whisping in and out. This has a carnation note blended in, but it doesn't scream "carnation". It had great persistence and actually...

I love this scent! Nothing gathers more compliments than this for me. Amber, honey, hay...deliciously sweet and spicy notes. One tip: try to find the old version made by palais royal du shiseido...
