Refreshing, watery, lovely!

The initial cloud smells like freshly chopped dill, lol. It's such an unexpected and fun smell that I almost wish it would last longer. But it dissipates within the first ~5 minutes and leaves you sipping on a cucumber cooler on a shaded garden terrace, so I'm not complaining.

Cucumber is the main character here from start to finish, supported by freshness of the mint and a realistic rose scent seeping in from somewhere deep below. At its strongest red rose gives the composition an almost honeyed flavor; but it always stays first and foremost fresh (in a "moisture evaporating from a glass of cool water on a hot summer day" way) and green.

On me it settled close to the skin in the first ~45 minutes and stayed pretty distinct for another hour. Past the ~2 hour mark it became faint, more like an aftertaste of nice soap on freshly washed hands.
When I tested the same perfume later on my partner, his skin brought out a lot more of the pear (which was almost invisible on me) and a bit more overall sweetness. It also lasted twice as long on him – about ~4 hours until it got to the gentle soap stage.

A joyful little scent that I may yet come back to if I'm ever in the mood for something green. I love that it managed to achieve that greenness without relying on the cheap lawn grass flavor. Refreshing!

It lasts hours on my wife. I love it. Must be different from person to person.

Yeah, that seems to be the case with a lot of perfumery as far as I've noticed.
It's important to share our individual experiences to create a more realistic picture of what other people can expect, but at the end of the day everyone's skin (and experience) is unique to them. The only surefire way to find out how the perfume will behave on your skin is to test it yourself ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )
