I am a big fan of Rituals shops, the atmosphere is harmonious and the scent is also unique. My first Rituals fragrance was the Happy Mist - Sweet Orange & Cedar from the Happy Buddha series.
Immediately after spraying, you notice the orange, fruity, natural, and cheerful it comes across, and after an hour, it is supported by cedar, which makes the scent slightly woody. After 2 hours, the fragrance becomes a bit rounder, but it also takes on a slightly soapy note that fades away quite quickly.
The longevity was fine for a body spray, for me it lasted about 5-6 hours, a bit longer on clothing.
I quite like the bottle, it is simple but still fits well with the fragrance and the cap is not too loose. The spray button releases quite a lot, so 2-3 sprays are completely sufficient.
I definitely do not get headaches from the scent, it is too subtle for that. (Although I rarely get headaches from fragrances, LVEB is an exception ;) )
Recommendation: I can really recommend the fragrance to everyone, even those who usually do not like citrus scents, as it smells more fruity-woody. Moreover, you can wear it in any weather, I wear it both in summer and winter as it is not too fresh.
Conclusion: A true good mood fragrance with fruity, slightly sweet orange and cedar. Longevity is fine for me, although the sillage is a bit weak. Definitely another great scent from Rituals! :)
Very well described, I completely agree with you. I wasn't familiar with Rituals until now. A friend gifted me two fragrances, and I'm surprised by the great quality for the price. Next, I'm going to try the highly rated "Ritual of Jing" ;-)
I've been using the Sweet Orange & Cedar care line for quite a while now - whether it's summer or winter, the spicy scent makes me feel happy :) Maybe I should treat myself to the perfume as well...
As soon as I'm back in my Dutch neighborhood, I'll visit Rituals. I already love the body care with orange and cedar (I got 4 products in a gift box for my birthday: Happy Buddha).
Maybe I should treat myself to the perfume as well...
