Out of the vial: Vanilla with a hind of mint. I would describe it as...bubbly.
On me: Boozy sort of vanilla. Not sure I get any musk and not sure what hawthorne smells like but I do like it. It's not very complex on me but I am starting to suspect that burbon vanilla loves my skin a little too much and just amps up to overpower everything else. This also happened with Bar Sinister but that got way too sweet and sickly, this is just right.
