Loving Glencoe and Buachaille Etive Mòr, I was excited to try this scent.
But oh my!! I am really having a different experience than the other reviewer!
My first thought, upon spraying this sample vial: "Oh ugggh! Rose petals floating in a vat of motor oil!"
Happily, by drydown, that off-putting note dissipates for the most part, and the rose part is nice, so it's a shame about the diesel!
Longevity was very short (only about five hours), and sillage was quite large. I genuinely don't know when or for what occasion anyone would wear this.
For me, I wouldn't want it, or to smell it on anyone. I am glad other people are liking it, though!

Gorgeous tart rose in a grassy field...the rose note reminds me a lot of the one in Nectary, so if you like that one there's a good chance you'd like this one too.
