When the scent opens, it reminds me of a coca cola gummy or a pleasant smelling shampoo. The smell reminds me of a nostalgic happy memory from childhood, like sharing $0.25 candies (sorry, Millennial here) on a hot summer day with your best friend and having the gummy stick to the teeth, so you have “later candy.” It’s a familiar scent.
As the fragrance dries down, it dries down to a powdery green due to the vetiver and sage. It is musky and comforting, but retains a herbaceous aspect. There is a slight sharpness to the scent, even a metallic tang, perhaps from the neroli.
Inoffensive. Effervescent. Sweet but not cloying. Fresh but not cold.
Light sillage. A wonderful summer scent.
My main gripe with the EDP is its longevity.
The bottle is simple. The notes are on the label. Full size comes with a silvery star piece of jewellery that you could also wear as a bracelet.
If I were to summarize this scent, I would call it sweet petrichor.
