intriguing nose feel
first off: i have never done poppers. i've done something popper-like but i didn't ask what it was, and it was back in like 2016/2017 and it was in a vague brown bottle so honestly i could not tell you what it was or what it even smelled like at this point.
i went ahead and blind bought the travel size bottle of Citrush (2025). i was like "woah, black pepper? frosted mint? terpenes??" i figured it was pretty safe for a BB, plus the proceeds go to the trevor project which made me feel a bit better about the BB. i wasnt really sure what to expect, all i knew was that this is a pretty popular fragrance, i've never smelled a boy smell before, and it sounds up my alley.
when it came in the mail, i started off by smelling the atomizer and i was VERY impressed. i sprayed a bit in the cap and let my partner smelled it and we were both like "woah".
now that i'm wearing it, it's definitely a journey.
it starts off with such a nice peppery citrus smell, and i feel like the frosted mint and terpenes are in there too. unfortunately, the pepper does not last very long, nor does the mint. it dries down (almost immediately) into what i call a "pleasant and delightful orange THC oil with some other shit going on that makes it really intriguing". other ways i've described it are "it's like if you took the machine that makes weed oil, and you used it to make pomelo oil" and also "like a really nice Male citrus fragrance with a blast of something synthetic but not unpleasant". i really like the almost chemically smell that dances around the bundle of citruses. it feels fresh and masculine, i like how it sits in my nose. there are various citrus notes in it's life cycle that all feel insanely fresh to me - you know how when you squeeze a lemon wedge and you can see an insane cacophony of the oils and juices spraying everywhere? that exact image comes to mind, only with pomelo. there are times when i feel like i smell a super fresh grapefruit peel, a particularly oily one at that.
was it worth the blind buy? sure, mostly because there's no way to get a sample of it (that i've noticed). it's a complete toss up as to whether or not i would have gotten the travel size after trying a sample. i know i definitely don't regret buying it, it's great for the hot summer we're about to have, and i think it's neutral enough to be a nice walking around fragrance. if someone walked past me wearing this, i would definitely sniff the air and ponder what they were wearing, i might even ask them about it.
