DREADFUL LIES 2009 (Naughty, inquisition, LE): (Company says: A conflagration: amber, tagette, and cognac.)

In bottle: I was not impressed at first as it’s rather more delicate than I like, but it’s growing on me. Apparently, tagette is Mexican marigold. This isn’t really floral or boozey, though there is a hint of floral to it. It’s very Amber dominant, with the cognac and marigold acting as support. Wet: Pretty much as in the bottle, though as is warms, it balances out more. I’m not a floral fan, but the tagette is so delicate, I really don’t mind at all and the cognac lends a richness to the amber. It strengthens as it warms, which is also an improvement. It’s rather more perfumey than I’d choose for myself, but it’s growing on me. Dry: I’m really liking this. The amber cognac combination really works out nicely. I never would have guessed how good this would be from the bottle
