Neon orange marker dots
Blood Orange & Basil was mentioned as a more 'modest' version of Guerlain's AA Mandarine Basilic, an absolute love at first sniff for me. Quite a few times close to ordering it blindly, I was fortunately given the opportunity for a test.
Of all the citric-themed Acqua Colonias I tested at the same time (Lemon&Ginger, Lime&Nutmeg, Mandarine&Cardamom), this was the most anticipated delivering the same amount of disappointment - the image: Doing your dishes using astringent lemony detergent while the herbaceous collar of your pullover itches your neck, and your little niece has learnt to use neon markers and is testing it out on you, adorning your bare forearms with bright, neon orange dots that will continue haunting you later, within your closed lids.
