This fragrance was my very first designer scent that I proudly wore for over 5 years like no other.. unfortunately, I lost you until now, and I have finally rediscovered you. Just one whiff of you takes me back to the time of my bloom. So many memories are attached to you, and you manage to make them all blossom again, oh God how I have missed you.
It’s clear, you will effortlessly return to my collection.

About the scent:
Soapy, fresh, citrusy yet with a vintage masculine edge.
The opening is a bit sharp for my taste, but it smooths out after 5 minutes and becomes very soft. I can clearly smell neroli, as well as a bit of bergamot and lavender.
In the drydown, it becomes warmer due to tonka and tobacco, which is quite noticeable and flatters it very much.

About the longevity/sillage:
I remember that back then I had to reapply 1-2 times a day, but it was definitely noticeable at skin level.

Conclusion: a very rounded, well-balanced, unobtrusive, fresh scent pleaser for all occasions from the house of D&G that I can highly recommend if you’re unsure where to spend your money. :)

Filled with anticipation, I bought this fragrance blind and as soon as the package arrived, -> I tore it open and sprayed it on my skin.. unfortunately not to my pleasure. I thought the ingredients would suit me and that this could be a big hit for me, but I was convinced of the opposite. I do think it is relatively high quality, but the whole experience is far too monotonous and simply too sandalwood-heavy. Nevertheless, for enthusiasts, it is certainly a big one in this category :)
