My Fragrance Journey (Blind Comment No. 3)
This review is part of a blind test. The dear First has sent a package with 9 fragrances on a journey, of which I am now allowed to write a blind comment on three.
The vial with "Number 3" smells like lemon from the outside. I spray a bit on my wrist and notice pronounced citrus notes, possibly bergamot. But there is also a floral component competing with the freshness at the start.
Immediately, I think of a fragrance: "My Burberry," which I used to wear very often. However, this one was a bit creamier and slightly sweeter in my memory.
In line with "My Burberry," my mental fragrance journey also begins in England. I see myself strolling through a rose garden in a trench coat. It has rained recently, and it smells fresh and floral.
As my journey continues, I find myself in Italy by the sea. A gentle breeze caresses my hair and brings the fresh sea air to my face. There are no flowers here anymore, but I smell herbaceous notes like sage. The citrus freshness from the nearby lemon grove continues to accompany me.
Unfortunately, my fragrance journey doesn't last too long; after about 6 hours, the whole fun is already over. The sillage was quite decent, especially for a very fresh scent.
For me, it's an everyday/daytime fragrance for the warmer season & spring.
Thank you, dear First, for the many fragrance journeys you have sent me on with this letter :) Anyone interested can also feel free to read my other reviews of the fragrances I was allowed to test blind :)

My note for 3 was the worst of all: citrus, white flowers, rose? In the drydown, very boring and one-dimensional. And my boyfriend liked it the most. He also mentioned something about a sea breeze, which I absolutely didn't notice...

Yes, I also find it subtle, but the unusual Amyris note makes it very elegant due to its rarity, which you wouldn't guess during a blind test. Great that you commented on all three right away!
