Vintage Chic

California in the summertime.
Early 60's.
Futuristic villa with view over the Pacific Ocean.
Spacious pool surrounded by perfectly trimmed lawn.
Clear forms, soft colours Everything a little undercooled, perfectionist, almost repellent - and therefore all the more attractive in its simple beauty.

He could fit in here, Afternoon Swim, with his cool, simple elegance.
Soft, fresh oranges and bitter-tart green mandarins are perceptible.
An artificial coolness underlaid with Ambroxan is achieved - but never exaggerated, never intrusive or too synthetic.
The slightly aquatic undertone makes the fragrance special and distinguishes it from the mass of citric summer scents.
Matching the presentation in the simple but beautiful deep blue bottle.
Unfortunately, it is relatively volatile, after 3 hours it may be re-sprayed.
Nevertheless, I like it extraordinarily well with its tart citrus freshness and the delicate aquatic substructure, which radiates a slightly arrogant coolness.
So good, in fact, that I'm seriously worried about my account.
