The website was really oddly built, so I figured no one would be able to submit a ticket -- and sure enough, I won a bottle. If you don't know the cologne is gin-scented, it smells citrusy and light. If you think "gin," then it smells like a very dry martini. I love it, but there is the very real hazard of putting it on at 8am and feeling a strong impulse to have a cocktail. I have a couple of those Demeter perfumes too, but they're too sugary to wear.
