Switching Bath of Emotions

The first impression of this fragrance is quite exciting: a fresh, zesty opening that raises expectations. But after a short time, the direction shifts, and associations arise that strongly remind me of a cold bath. This effect is not for everyone and can quickly make the fragrance experience feel overwhelming.

Once the initial minutes have passed, another side reveals itself. Suddenly, lighter, more pleasant nuances emerge: a delicate tea cloud, finely woven with jasmine, resting on a base of citrus notes. This phase is significantly rounder and more enjoyable, although the memory of the intense start still lingers a bit.
Shortly thereafter, it develops again in a direction that I find negative..... The peach sorbet nuance seems completely out of place here and crashes this positive development.

Unfortunately, the longevity falls significantly short of expectations. The fragrance dissipates faster than one would wish, so the more interesting facets are only perceivable for a short time. The citrus notes, which initially provide energy, can, in combination with the freshness, leave a slight "dish soap" impression - one has to like that; otherwise, it feels rather disturbing.

Overall, a fragrance that shows good potential but does not consistently convince.
