Short but Savoury
Opens on a strong white whine vinegar and salt, which is interesting and works well for warmer weather. Dries down to a nice spicy rose with a creamy orange note.
Not great longevity or sillage on my skin, the opening notes are there for a very short while before the rose takes center stage (not a bad thing necessarily). After that it becomes closer to a skin scent, that disappears after 4-5 hours. After a couple of hours the rose still remains but the orange blossom is replaced by a weak note of dry cedarwood.
Regardless of what the bottle says this leans heavily unisex with the fresh opening and the later spicy rose offering a sort of sensual discovery closer to the skin, which I would appreciate on both men and women.
Overall a nice and unique warm weather fragrance without aquatic or citrusy notes, which although they're obviously appreciated, can feel rather outplayed by the end of the warmer season. My daily for spring.
Books I associate with this fragrance:
Slow-burning romance. Creeping ever closer until the discovery of the sensuality and warmth buried close to the skin. Alternatively a shorter, romantic story (perhaps reflecting the shorter life of the perfume)
1984- George Orwell
City of My Dreams- Per Anders Fogelström
White Nights- Dostoyevsky
