Gin & Tonic?

This perfume review is based on a sample, as I can afford big bottles and am not a “collector “ per se, although I own 65 bottles of perfume. Does that make me a collector?
Anyway, this perfume is great at first. It’s minty and fresh, but aquatic. There’s a thick creaminess that arrives after twenty minutes that doesn’t sit well with mint, but it’s not terrible. It’s just not for me. I feel it’s masculine, but it’s unisex if you’re not into florals and want fresh.
The longevity and sillage is great on my skin, but it’s also dead winter here and ice everywhere. In fact, mint quality kind of goes well with the crisp weather.
I wouldn’t buy this one, but am grateful to have experienced it’s unusual beauty.

Fresh zesty petit grain forte

This to me is the best fresh perfume out there! I tried the fragrance as soon as it came out, I was living in Scotland where we had no summer and this little number was the closest thing I got to summer. It was sunshine in a bottle, it made me smile and think of hot summer days. It lasted forever on my scarf, and smelled more floral. I could smell the jasmine coming through and it’s heavenly on clothes. The lasting power is amazing, I can still smell it after 10 hours, still surrounding me like a little fragrance hoody, dominated by petit grain and lime! Would highly recommend for days when an injection of summer is needed.

A soothing floral summer scent

EDIT: In the beginning, I liked this scent better than 724. After almost a month, my opinion has been reversed.

It opens with a clean floral scent with a bit of citrus. After a while, the latter vanishes to give way to strong hints of ylang-ylang and jasmine. The projection is average to strong, although it's not an in-your-face scent, but the longevity is phenomenal.

Aqua Celestia Forte is marketed as unisex but I think it slightly leans towards feminine. Regardless of gender, people like me who enjoy slightly feminine floral scents will enjoy this as a daily scent and for the hotter weather. It is also light and despite it being marketed as EDP, you might want to add more sprays than usual.

An ice lemon tea

Spicy is the word that pops into my head. ACF’s opening is forceful and unapologetic. It’s as if someone just squeezed a lemon on to my nose; a little more than I’m willing to bear. However, it’s undeniably refreshing, and reminds me of drinking an ice lemon tea in the mid Summer. Overtime, the scent calms down and lets go of some of its spiciness, and the soft and floral jasmine note gradually rises up.
The scent reminds me of Wulong Cha from Nishane. Both are spicy and refreshing at the beginning, and evolve into more floral overtime. More enjoyable than I expected.
