I can't always handle citrus-fresh scents. Often they are too piercing for me. I've also rarely had luck with tea notes, even though I really like tea. With Melody of the Sun - what a beautiful and fitting name, by the way - it's different.
Melody of the Sun starts beautifully citrus-fresh and radiates good mood and energy. It has a bit of acidity from the grapefruit and is also slightly bitter. The fruity notes give it some sweetness, but it remains light.
I perceive the scent development as rather linear. The citrus remains present, becomes a bit softer, and I believe I can now smell green tea and mate more distinctly. I don't find it very synthetic either. But it lasts quite well on me for a freshie - if synthetics are responsible for that, I'm fine with it.
I've been wearing Melody of the Sun for the second summer now. Whether at the office, in my free time, or on vacation. It lifts my spirits, makes me feel fresh and well-groomed, and is never too much.
