Burst! Universal Flowering

An eclectic, pep-in-your-step citrus… sullied only for me by its opening note and flighty lifespan.
Yuzu is my sleeper agent activation phrase. I’d drink poison if you told me it had yuzu in it. I once got violently ill because I ate a whole jar of yuzu curd in an evening. I haven’t found a great yuzu fragrance yet, because if I did I might never want to smell anything else. Alas, Burst! wasn’t quite it. The citrus is tangy and sweet, but I wouldn't blindly peg it a yuzu. Its fragrance arc is close enough to Gumamina’s Odette (one of my faves) to be a fraternal twin, but while she opens like a sweet-n-sour grapefruit edible, Burst! opens with a dry, skunky cannabis nug. It dwindles within the first five minutes, but unfortunately was enough to sour my experience. A pity because following two hours of sugared citrus and pencil shavings (!!!) was A+. Seriously. Dry down had me hollering Ticonderoga.
Mental Snapshot: First day of school. First day of school at the commune. The classroom is a sun-stippled meadow. Some students lounge on picnic blankets, others dangle from the boughs of the orchard trees. A distant ukulele twines with the birdsong. Your only assignment is to vibe. You feel real silly to have brought all your pencils.
