At first, I was skeptical because the mint hit me with full force. However, that only lasted a short time before it faded into the background and the apple came through with something sparkling. After a while, the scent develops into something slightly sweet; I can't really detect melon, at least not clearly. Then the moss quietly emerges and remains on the skin for a very long and pleasant time. Worth a try if you like herbal or forest fragrances.
