Easy-to-wear fresh citrus with good performance, bested by Navitus'
My second sampling of Vivamor Parfums is Akoya, a fresh grapefruit-led, citrus-heavy freshie with an appropriate spread of spices and woods to round it out. Lemon, ginger, pink pepper, incense, and amber round this out. It’s dense, reasonable fresh but not overly bright or fleeting, seemingly a very robust-performing freshie that should handle the heat and cold well alike. There’s nothing not to like; it’s highly agreeable. However, I do not regard it as a standout fragrance that should be paid attention to. Still, the value is reasonable enough, $155 for 100ml, sold both via the house and now boutiques like Perfumology.
I think it’s only natural to make comparisons to perfumes in the sister company Navitus Parfums’ catalogue, and the most obvious comparisons can be made (by no coincidence) to the other fragrances with blue bottles, Elation and Soleil Matin, both of which I’d argue are a bit brighter than Akoya, with Soleil Matin being the more accessible and superior of the two, though I still like Elation. I think Akoya fits in with both of these, though, and is comparable in terms of quality, overall.
