A Complex Boozy-Citrus, Woody-Amber
I've never heard of the brand before, until thanks to a family relative, I got the chance to test it out. And, well... it's pretty interesting.
The first thing that you will be met with is a blast of citrusy notes, but it wasn't really the usual, lemony, grapefruit citrus from most fragrances. It was kind of like a strong combination of the two, and that seems to be the Yuzu note of the fragrance, which seemingly does smell like a more complex and fresher mix between lemon and grapefruit. I found it pretty nice, but given how citrus-heavy it initially was, I didn't have very high expectations for it, thinking that it was going to be just another citric, fresh summer perfume. But I was wrong.
Throughout the day, gradually, it started developing and shifting towards a more ambery/spicy/woody direction. The blond tobacco, along with the other few floral heart notes, gave the initially-prominent citrus a very dirty-like scent - like a boozy/dirty lemon, sort of. That I wasn't a huge fan of, as it gave me a bit of a headache. After some more time, however, from a citrus-heavy and slightly boozy scent, the amber and slightly woody/spicy accords took over, which brought back my interest. The citric and boozy scent was still plenty noticeable, and I must be honest, I was hoping that it would fade a little faster. I just wasn't a huge fan of that part.
Longevity was honestly better than I expected. It held on for over 10 hours just fine on my skin, but projection-wise, it didn't impress me, not radiating any more than about 1 feet away for the first couple of hours. That doesn't convince me to spray any more than 3-5 sprays, though; that mix of citrus and booziness just doesn't sit too well with my nose, translating into a headache.
So even though I will probably never consider buying this, I must say it's one interesting fragrance. Strongly citrusy at the start, then turning a little bit boozy, continuing to a slightly woody and ambery base. It's fairly complex, which I like, but it's not the mix-up of notes that particularly suits my taste. For the occasions where I would wear this, I feel like more dressed-up events during spring and/or autumn would be my choice. You could also wear it leisurely, you just have to really like the scent.
Overall Rating: 7.3/10
