I agree with you. I tried Sedley 3 days ago (2 ml). It's just a nice smell, but nothing more. Smell - lemon, lavender, ambroxan. And for me it is linear, it smells the same all the time. The direction of this perfume - Y edt, Blue de Chanel, Prada Carbon and other blue perfumes. However, all the listed substitutes are better. Sedley is often referred to by bloggers as a summer scent, but there are much better one for summer. With such competitors and such a price, Sedley is not worth buying.
