The tales are true. This is splashing around in your friend's above-ground pool on a hot summer morning, then coming inside to the air conditioning in your still-wet swimsuit to have an orange popsicle. I love it.
The opening half hour or so is honestly borderline too acerbic for me, though. Not quite to the point of burning my nose, but only just.
In the dry-down, though, it's a softer, hazy blend. I get the violet, I get the vetiver, and it leans almost a little funky. Like you didn't change out of your swimsuit or dry your hair, but you put on a big t-shirt and now you're lying on the carpet watching movies and getting the pillow under your head a bit damp. A little musky-funky, but in a cozy, tired way.
Super nostalgic. Impressively formulated. Probably not going to enter my rotation, but I loved trying it.
