M. E. very masculine
After seeing the advertisement photo where the bottle lies on a bed of sweet orange slices, I would have expected something completely different, and I am glad I didn't make a spontaneous blind purchase. Unfortunately, I can smell very little of lemons, oranges, or grapefruit. Instead, the scent (to my nose) is extremely aquatic, reminiscent of a herbal aftershave, with a slight hint of labdanum. Unfortunately, this was a disappointment for me.

Please not the next meaningless freshie..
This was my first thought when I read the notes for this fragrance..
The usual suspects are, of course, a must in a freshie:
Citrus fruits, ginger, marine notes, and of course bergamot. Hardly a fragrance that wants to hold its own as a summer scent (or tries to) can do without these notes these days. Most are probably already annoyed by the typical 0815 freshie scents, which are all just copy number X of well-known expensive fragrances.

But this one does something different. To my nose, it has a combination of notes that I haven't perceived before. I can't quite pinpoint where this unusual composition comes from, but for me, it is not the typical dupe or the next reference to Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette, Basso, Isola Blu Parfum, or other similar fragrances.

Is it the marine notes that transport you to a beach bar in Ibiza and give you the feeling that a light sea breeze is swirling around your nose?
Or is it the resinous warm base?
I will try to discover the twist in further tests.

Until then, I enjoy a feeling of warmth and summer with this fragrance in the current 2°C and typically uncomfortable April weather, with hail, wind, and sun in constant alternation...

I don't want to praise this fragrance as the ultimate must-have, yet in my opinion, it has unjustly spent its existence hidden away and does not need to hide from other fresh scents. The bottle is heavy, feels very good in hand, and the painted gradient really makes a statement!

And until summer finally arrives, I will always smell this fragrance whenever needed and briefly (or also for its good longevity) bring home the scent of summer for a day!

Thank you for reading ️

To be honest, it's just an everyday freshie made of aquatic notes, grapefruit, and (sharp-musty) ginger, which has nothing to do with the +

Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit) penetrate sand and dull driftwood. It develops citrus-creamy with slight plastic vibes.

Dry, dusty start. But then the scent becomes pleasantly fresh and lightly fruity. Great interplay. This is what summer smells like!

Pleasantly zesty scent that isn't a citrus classic for me. The ginger combined with the maritime notes is something special! Sillage ok to good.

Nice and zesty and refreshing at first, like a cold drink in the summer heat. Starts off more masculine, then becomes a bit softer.

I'm blown away. Where did this fragrance house come from all of a sudden? Citrusy fresh vacation-summer scent with very good sillage.

I like the combination of ginger and grapefruit. Then it gets creamier. You can't go wrong with that.

Fresh citrus splashes in my face, something sharp (ginger?) bites my nose, I don't like that. Then it turns masculine, honey resin.
