Great gym fragrance

I'm still very cautious when it comes to blindbuys. My first one was a complete miss. This was followed by a direct hit and here too I got carried away by the Leni's scents channel. I thought that the price was a bit too low if I was wrong. I find the Esprit de Contradiction very suitable for spring/summer. The first thing I smell is a pleasant lemon, which is not too sour and acrid and remains so throughout the fragrance. I was a little unsure about the sage in particular, but I think it gives the fragrance, together with the other spices, a nice twist and a pleasant spiciness. I find the longevity rather lousy, will try to pimp it a bit with my "Molécule 234-38 | Zarkoperfume". However, I have now found the perfect gym fragrance. I've always preferred not to use perfume in a full classroom, you don't want to annoy anyone. But I don't think you can go wrong here, you just smell nice and fresh and a bit special without annoying or penetrating your fellow human beings. Absolutely unisex with no tendency towards masculine or feminine.

Duck good... all good!

I admit it, I am a victim of the duck. I came across the fragrance through a YouTube video by Leni. The fresh scent immediately appealed to me, but when I saw the bottle, I was really hooked. The duck called to me... and the fragrance ended up first on my watch list and then in the shopping cart of a large online store.
As there is a 15 ml mini bottle, I dared to make a blind purchase... and I have not regretted it.
As soon as the cute little duck bottle arrived, the first splashes landed on my wrist.
Wow... what a refreshment. The fragrance gives me freshness, energy and subtle cleanliness for a whole working day without being citrusy.
It's spicy (ginger, pepper, sage), fresh (lemon, mandarin), green (coriander, vetiver), clean (musk), very slightly sweet (ylang ylang) and woody (cedarwood).
Somehow I also smell a slight tea note, although tea is not listed.
You feel fresh and clean in a natural way, without synthetics.
The sillage is medium, the longevity is not bad at all, I perceive it on the skin for about 7 - 8 hours. However, the first burst of freshness fades quickly, but a mini bottle like this fits perfectly in any handbag.
It's perfect for summer, but also offers pure refreshment and energy at any time of year.
If you like to smell fresh and clean without the usual floral accompaniment or synthetics, you should follow the call of the duck...

Surprisingly peppery

I bought this fragrance on recommendation. Cheap and a candidate for a "blind buy". No disappointment instead great love. Is very close to the skin and probably from third parties at a distance rather less perceptible.

The tangerine at the beginning is definitely there, then I take quite quickly the coriander, the ginger and also the beautiful pepper was. Especially from the pepper I am taken. Very pleasant. A fresh some also powdery creamy fragrance, but without heliotrope and iris. Rare.

The bottle is of course great made and the packaging only! Also very nice to give away!
