I kind of can smell that. My opinion is that it isn't horrible, but I wouldn't want to own it and probably wouldn't wear it again.

As Geordan rightly pointed out, it's not edgy.

They do share a certain fruity-spicy billowiness. They're both warm and ambery-musky. But the delightful Indecence lives on the cookie side of life, and Boyfriend is emphatically woody. And smelling it again, I'm impressed with Boyfriend anew.
