it opens with zesty kick from orange and bergamot with pepper. then when it settles ylang ylang, orange blossom and jasmine bloom up on your skin, it stays that way for quite some time then at the end vanilla and patchouli started to come out. coconut wasnt really there unfortunately, but I do enjoy this fragrance very much, lately its been my go to. if you like LVEB but dont want the strong sticky sweetness this is great one to change up to, especially spring and fall, even summer night. the closeness to the original is 6/10.
