Dry spicy, incense-rich blend.
The powerful lavender and juniper open the ceremony, transitioning within 3 minutes to incense,
pepper, and saffron, which is perhaps the most intriguing part: the incense burns, yet it's enveloped by spicy notes.
️
Interestingly, in the air it's akin to white pepper; when sniffed up close on the wrist,
it leans more towards the scent of Chinese five-spice powder
-
After 10 minutes, the scent becomes robust, the texture of pepper resembling prickly stubble,
accompanied by the medicinal aroma of saffron, it takes on a slightly bitter herbal fragrance.
-
After 30 minutes, it arrives at the core, with dry woody incense dominating, so dry that it carries a hint of acidity.
-
At 1.5 hours, as the incense slowly fades, lavender gently re-emerges.
(Later, upon spraying a second time, I discovered that lavender had been lingering all along, but the preceding notes kept it subtle.)
After 2.5 hours, the base notes of coumarin enhance the lavender's powdery smokiness,
sandalwood, cedar, and amber shift the scent towards warmth and sweetness, adding weight to the incense,
making it more comforting and stable.
️
It's worth noting that lower temperatures accentuate the woody acidity and medicinal aspect,
making the layers of fragrance more nuanced; conversely,
higher temperatures accelerate the transition towards the warm and sweet finale.
-
The character exudes an aura of meticulousness, delicacy, and dignified solidity,
akin to someone with slightly curled hair,
wearing golden-rimmed glasses and a beige or earth-toned turtleneck sweater.

Fresh, juicy, and translucent fruity rose.
Overflowing with juicy, tangy grapefruit sensation,
with a hint of bitterness akin to accidentally biting into the white part,
-
followed by the fresh and dewy white rose blossoming with droplets,
the intertwining of grapefruit and rose gives it a youthful greenness,
wisteria further enhances the elegance on this foundation.
It's a relatively linear fragrance with subtle changes; the green notes in the dry down are slightly emphasized,
with the overall fruity and acidic notes outweighing the sweetness, making it particularly suitable for summer.
-
It's suitable for various occasions, and there should be hardly anyone who wouldn't suit or enjoy this scent,
as it exudes youthful vitality with grace, making it extremely comfortable to wear.
Although there are many fragrances with similar ingredient combinations on the market,
what's rare is the persistent green freshness till the end.
-
Because of the mythological background of the perfume,
scenes from Japanese anime featuring handsome young men keep popping into my mind,
-
accompanied by the blooming of flowers. Indeed,
it's a scent that a charming young man would wear and be approached by goddess-like sisters(?).

Revealing Shimmering Shades of Emerald.
Green leafy, woody spicy aquatic blend.
-
It starts with citrus and bitter green leaves, moist, lightly salty, and verdant, like walking along a hidden path, parting tall shrubs to reach the seaside, where the ocean stretches endlessly into the depths.
After 10 minutes, this deep scent gradually lightens, revealing shimmering shades of emerald; hints of pepper and ginger emerge like sunlight, diminishing the dampness.
Spiciness intertwines with greenery, reminiscent of the scent of grass and soil at the shoreline.
This aromatic spicy sensation peaks around 1-1.5 hours; it gradually fades after 2.5 hours, leaving a subtle spiciness overall.
Subsequently, floral notes become increasingly prominent, accompanied by an intriguing salty seaweed nuance, mixed with cedar and ylang-ylang, lending a hint of salty creaminess.
By the 5-hour mark, what remains is a clean woody white floral scent, somewhat akin to Rossopompeiano from the same brand, with even lower projection, if not lower
The character exudes an aura of wearing a loose white short-sleeved shirt, the wind causing it to billow behind him.
He carries the scent of freshly bathed soap, with his hair still slightly damp, walking along a green bush-lined shoreline, bathed in just the right amount of sunlight, with dry sand and a faint salty tang in the air.
It creates a fresh yet subtly mysterious atmosphere, suitable for spring and summer.
It's worth noting that due to the salty aspect, it might feel a bit stuffy on some people's skin.

Contradictory, with both a modern metallic feel and an ancient sacred ritualistic sense.
The crisp opening exudes the greenness and bitterness of quinine bark, reminiscent of a last glimmer of light before death, enveloped in an intense greenness accentuated by aldehydes that evoke a metallic sensation, creating an opaque forest. The freshly lit incense floats lightly like mist around the body.
As the fresh and vibrant green subsides, the woody notes of pine and cypress gradually intensify in the middle, as if parting the dense foliage, touching the tree trunks, and intertwining with the smoky, cool-burning sensation that boldly climbs the softness of the plants.
With the passage of time, musk and frankincense resin become more velvety, merging with the sweat and oils of the skin, creating a hint of sensuality.
The incense burns throughout but gradually becomes tranquil, gentle, and hazy until the green is completely consumed.
Interestingly, this fragrance possesses contradictory qualities. It embodies both the modern, icy, metallic urban feel and the sacred and solemn essence of ancient mythology.
These two aspects subtly intertwine depending on the attire and the desired aura of the day.
Overall, it gives a dry, fresh, transparent, lightweight, elegant, and green impression. Interestingly, at higher temperatures, compared to the metallic green sensation of winter, the dry woody aspect becomes more prominent.
The character associated with this fragrance is not cold but rather cool. They have a calm and firm demeanor, gentle yet distant and aloof.
Additionally, whether influenced by the name or not, the imagery in my mind evokes a sense of ancient civilization and sacred rituals.
It portrays a stone temple covered in climbing greenery, where the echoes make it difficult to determine the origin of the sounds, surrounded by almost inaudible murmurs and chants, simmering beneath a calm surface.

The Rose in the Mist
As you walk into the garden enveloped in a light mist on a clear morning, the opening is marked by the freshness of tender green leaves, accompanied by just-blossomed roses.
The petals still carry a hint of youthful firmness, and upon crouching down to inhale, you can detect the plant's early stem and leaf fragrance. It's a beautiful beginning but unfortunately fleeting, disappearing in an instant.
As you casually proceed, a breeze infused with a hint of mint sweeps in, introducing a fresh herbal note that brightens the aroma of roses. Lavender nearby adds a rounded and subtly sweet touch.
Amidst the mist, it seems like you are approaching a mixed boundary with the forest. The trees become taller, suggesting the presence of a campfire that was lit during the night. Pink pepper grains fall and mix with the burning scent of cedarwood. Some might interpret it as smoky, but I find the sensation more akin to the ash residue left after burning, with a slightly sharp tobacco note that can be nose-tickling.
This ashy quality gradually dissipates over time, and mint makes a comeback. Compared to the initial coolness, there's now a touch of moisture and smoothness, and the rose at the base of the fragrance becomes softer, more powdery, and more skin-hugging.
Overall, it's elegant. The beginning to the middle interprets rose in a neutral manner, but unfortunately, it returns to a more feminine feel towards the end. The most interesting aspect is the transition of scents from the opening to the middle and then the end, akin to a gentle tap of powder, with a scattering of powdery notes.
The character in the top notes exudes the demeanor of a calm and restrained aristocrat, standing a step away, slightly leaning forward with a courteous handshake. As the fragrance progresses into the middle and base notes, the burning pink pepper transforms into painted red lips, elegantly lighting a cool cigarette. Raising her head, she meets your gaze, offering a subtle smile.
