Rarely has a top note overwhelmed me so much. So much blood orange, bitter, zesty accords, I briefly thought: Damn, you can forget this scent, this bitter thing won't enrich your life.
How wrong was I?!
After five minutes, a truly extraordinary orange scent revealed itself. It feels like a molecular fragrance and has something slightly aquatic. Then it turns green, and the basil becomes prominent (and somehow I would have preferred sage as the green note here, maybe because basil is so predictable).
It is not a sweet or, in the true sense, fresh and clean creation.
Absolutely unisex.
In the end, a creamy, slightly woody, skin-close orange remains. Very clear, like sun-kissed skin in the evening. And I catch myself sniffing my wrist and dreaming of my next vacation.
