it is VERY LIGHT. at initial application i was like oh no WAY STRONG but less than 5 minutes later it mellowed into a real gentle tease of a floral scent. it's definitely got rose in it as like a second or third note, but the top is fig. which is a smell i haven't encountered before. i cannot get over it. and the bottle is BEAUTIFUL. def try and swipe a sample, because smelling anything in sephora is like impossible.
