Cat Can't Bite!

Pecksniff’s. Never heard of it. You always learn about new scents. Or rather, new brands, which is always interesting.
And as soon as the fragrance description mentions mandarin peels, the scent becomes even more interesting (to me). Especially when my cat seems to be getting a bit wild again and wants to bite me, but more on that later after the fragrance description.

The scent:
The fragrance starts with naturally smelling citrus peels, specifically as stated, grapefruit and mandarin. I can't distinguish which citrus fruit has a stronger scent, but combined they smell great.
What does ozone actually smell like? Chlorine-like? Like sunshine? I'm not sure, in any case, I don't smell anything "unusual" here, or I can't identify it. For me, the scent smells citrusy, slightly bitter, and becomes a bit woodier later on.

The sillage and longevity:
Hmm… well, for me, the projection of the scent is by no means as high as one can see in the reviews here. The scent can be perceived briefly, but you really have to be somewhat close. In my opinion, this fragrance does not leave a scent trail.
In terms of longevity, the scent lasted about four hours on me, after which it was almost completely gone.

The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular, tall, and clear. It has no label, as the name is printed directly on the bottle. The cap is cylindrical, tall, and chrome-plated. Everything is quite normal, so neither particularly beautiful nor hideously ugly.

So, citrus lovers could certainly enjoy this fragrance. It’s not particularly complex and serves more as a refreshment on hot days, but it fulfills that purpose all the better. The citrus fruits smell natural and are long-lasting.

Thus, the scent, as one might expect, is only to be used in summer and only for oneself. Although the fragrance has been discontinued now…

And regarding my cat: As I said, he had a little wild moment earlier, and sometimes he bites then. But then I held my sprayed arm in front of his nose, and lo and behold, he stepped back in shock. Well, he has never liked citrus fruits… but why did he have to come to me just when I was testing this fragrance?! :D
