(I tried this before seeing the other reviews but I guess it’s clear the effect this has on multiple people).
On paper this sounded perfect for me with neroli, bergamot & bitter orange all being favourites of mine so I was eager to try it and got hold of a sample (thank god it was only a sample and I didn’t buy anything bigger).
Almost instantly after spraying (just 2 sprays, 1 on each wrist) I knew I’d made an error as the artificial cleaning product style smell hit. Then came the headache.
I persevered, I truly did, as I assumed it had to get better. Surely there’s no way this could get through product production when it smells like this?
Sadly, though it changed, it never got better- instead I started to smell less like surface cleaner and more like a chemical-full plug-in wall air freshener and in the worst way possible.
2 hours in (I told you I persevered) up-close on my wrist there’s a hint of something nice, but all around me there was a cloud of air freshener style artificiality that this strongly throws out and I not only had to scrub my wrists to get it off, but change my clothes as the cloud had permeated.
Having tried hundreds of perfumes over the years, and not liked many of them, this is the only one which has had that effect on me so I guess it wins the award for ‘most likely to make me want to remove it’s existence completely from my life’.
