Not my cup of (citrus) tea
This was my first ever perfume (can you already tell I'm new at this perfume thing?) and it is now a reminder that I need to test several times before purchasing an FB.
It opens with a citrus-laced bouquet of white flowers, which is similar to how it smells in the bottle. At this stage, the freesia is the most prominent note. It lends a rather feminine, professional feel to it.
As it starts drying in the next couple of minutes, the projection seems to quickly diminish. You get a lot more of the lime as it claws its way to the frontlines. Very quickly it takes over, and this becomes a citrus fume on a light floral background. Imagine lime rinds on white petals.
It's not unpleasant by any means. It's overall a rather safe, citrus fragrance which seems professional and clean. But there's nothing impressive about it either - it's boring and uninspired. There's so little development.
Longevity is weak on me, about 3 hours max. Then again, most fumes don't last on me.
Sillage is so-so. After an hour you don't smell it wafting any longer.
