A crisp, citrus-forward perfume with a distinct bitter green opening dominated by neroli, bitter orange, and petitgrain, evoking the essence of an orange tree from peel to blossom. The initial intensity can feel sharp and soapy, reminiscent of laundry detergent or peeled citrus, which some find overwhelming. Yet this fades into a soft, floral, and slightly sweet orange blossom heart with a powdery undertone. It is refreshingly clean, unisex in appeal, and ideal for warm weather, particularly summer days when its bright profile provides a cool, effervescent lift. While modest in sillage and longevity, it performs well on skin and clothing, with noticeable extensions when layered. Some users find its drydown flat or cloyingly sweet, while others appreciate its authenticity and delicate balance between tartness and floral sweetness. The performance improves dramatically in heat, transforming into a radiant, sun-drenched citrus scent that feels worthy of a summer garden or Mediterranean beach.
