Eau d'Hadrien Goutal 1981 Eau de Toilette

I have praised this scent together with the much fruitier and potent Acqua Viva for being the best easy-to-reach lemon peel summer scent ever. In itself I also think it's one of the most brilliant perfumes created because of the shocking citrus simplicity that leaves you wanting for more. While AV is invigorating in the way that you feel like wearing a luxury body product all day long, EDH has a genius citrus piece in the base tied with the cypress that just lingers for an "outdoor" sensation and will uplift your mood, complementing your journeys without overpowering naturally occurring smells. Despite the similar notes, in comparison to higher concentration Sicilian lemon perfumes, it's the intentional lower concentration of EDH that plays a big part in making it work! A milestone to own regardless of your likings (unless it discomforts you).
