Sea of Blooms, sweet but refreshing

Many years ago, I saw a southern sea in a dream, on whose surface, near the beach, numerous exotic flowers floated in many vibrant colors. Up close, I saw that the plants rooted at the bottom like water plants, and there was a wide strip free of plants that invited me to walk through this flower alley and swim out into the sea.
Olympéa Aqua EdP Légère smells just as I imagined the "Blossom" variant would: of both honey-sweet and lemony-sparkling flowers that float in a lighter version of Olympéa.
The refreshing amber/aqua and orange notes make it a summer fragrance for me, even though it is quite intense due to the cashmere wood. The advantage is that it lasts long even during sweaty work without losing quality.
I never thought before that gourmand sweetness, floral notes, fruitiness, salt, and aquatic elements could be combined in a perfume, but I think it has been very well achieved here.
I had the EdT of it back then, the first Aqua variant, which I believe is no longer on the market. I also emptied that bottle and enjoyed wearing it during the summer while working. This one, the Légère, I like better in comparison - more floral and heart.

I wouldn't recommend it as a sleep or couch fragrance. It is more of a daytime scent, sunny, sweet, refreshing.
