I don't know why, but sniffing this perfume catapults me back to my childhood, like when I would crack the pastel-colored links of those edible chains for kids under a shady tree in the summer and suck on them.
I want to agree with the previous speaker when she writes that the scent evokes emotions, is incredibly dense and refreshing, yet still an elegant summer companion.
At first, I get citrus notes and a very juicy orange with a hint of synthetics.
Then it quickly becomes sweeter, citrus bye-bye, orange stays. However, a certain bitterness also comes into play. Something here vaguely reminds me of blackcurrant.
And I perceive a wonderful freshness. A good portion of Iso-E-Super clearly plays a role here. I love it.
The scent is also becoming creamier now. I think of musk.
Unfortunately, I don't really know what Akigalawood smells like, otherwise I could make a statement about it. I actually smell something peppery, but not much.
