...on a charming wooden chair in Italy next to a lemon tree at 30 degrees...

I have owned this fragrance for about 3 years now.

Every year during the summer, I look forward to wearing it and indulging in this beautiful citrusy, fresh scent.

And as soon as it is sprayed on, I have to close my eyes and quickly find myself in Italy next to a lemon tree - in a small cove with gentle waves. I am wearing a loose white linen shirt, a pair of short swim trunks, brown Birkenstocks, and sunglasses. The sun is shining, and it is 30 degrees in the shade under the sun umbrella. I am drinking a still water with a slice of lemon - the espresso tastes excellent. The charming wooden chair I am sitting on is unfortunately a bit uncomfortable - but that fits the vibe of this bar. The huge lemon tree next to me radiates the incredible charm and credibility of Italy. I don’t know why, but this tree fascinates me in a completely different way.

After about an hour in this charming bar, which is by no means overrun by tourists but rather a hidden gem, I have read about 8 pages in my book, and I have had two espressos and two chilled waters.

Suddenly, I see in the sky how the sun fades, how the lemons on the tree wilt, how the light blue sea water recedes, and a chair leg breaks.

So I open my eyes again and find myself back in Germany.

In short and clear: Perfect fragrance for summer, longevity/sillage is unfortunately a complete disgrace - it really doesn’t last longer than an hour for me. The bottle is very high quality and looks great on the shelf.

Absolute blind buy and mass pleaser.

Best regards, Philipp
