Scent

bumblebee aphrodisiac

Orange cream sledgehammer. I couldn’t hear the sandalwood over the white florals. On first huff wanted to chalk it up as an airy, orange blossom soliflore, but on my skin it dried into something both more lactonic and neroli leaning. (And it clung with un-blossomlike tenacity). So this one was orange grove in the streets, melting creamsicle in the sheets.

Longevity: ~8h skin and greatest olfactory fidelity of the lot when sniffed a day later in fabric. Refused to budge.

Mental Snapshot: it’s a cloudless summer day on the coast of Sicily and you have a gelato in hand. Only its 30C out. And the molten gelato is now lacquering your whole arm.

Tl;dr: If I was a bee, I’d go ham for this scent.
