Last time I wore this, I noticed fruit, with some bitterness, at the beginning, but referred to a bone-dry chypre-like rose as it developed.This time it's all fruit all the time. Sweet fruit, like a peach-strawberry-orange.
I'm puzzled.

I get something half way between the two - sweet, honeyed, bitter sap from a rose stem!

Ooh. Yes, I like that imagery.
