I can safely say that this fragrance is The One. One of those scents that on first sniff you know will be in your perfume library FOREVER. Because yes, I have a perfume library, I’m fickle like that. My tastes change with the seasons and for differing occasions (always Diptyque Philosykos in Italy in the summer and always Tom Ford White Suede on Date Night).
I love the greenness to this lemon cologne – it’s fresh in a vibrant, botanical way rather than a zesty way. And, unlike a lot of citrus fragrances (Jo Malone being a classic case) this REALLY lasts. Like next morning linger, lasts.
The fragrance notes (if that helps for you to build a picture) are:
Top notes of Lemon, Lime, Mandarin, Bergamot and Bitter Orange. While the heart is filled with Narcissus Absolute, Clary Sage, Hyacinth.
If you have been looking for a new spring fragrance stop, this is The One.
