Oscar de la Renta Alibi Set

I am sorry to say that Oscar De La Renta Alibi (the eau de parfum, as the eau de toilette has a different scent profile) was not my cup of tea. From the notes listed, I expected to like it very much, but on my skin all I got was an artificial smelling version of a strong dirty musk, topped off with a very artificial smelling plastic coconut scent. It was completely linear on me, and never developed into anything different. It did seem to have a lot of lasting power, because after a few hours I tried to wash it off and scrubbed multiple times to no avail. I could still smell it the next day on the area that I had sprayed it. Wish I had been able to get a sample vial first, as this was a total no-go for me. By the way, the bottle also had a very finicky top, the type which often breaks with time and usage, but I can't say for sure because I didn't keep it to find out.
