FR/18
by A. N. OTHER
FR/18 is a crisp, aromatic unisex fragrance that evokes a summertime gin and tonic with its opening of grapefruit, ginger, and a cool, ozonic metallic note. The melon accord provides a soft, sweet counterpoint that prevents the fragrance from veering into overly masculine territory, giving it a fresh and playful character. It settles into a delicate musky, metallic drydown that feels like a refined olfactory echo of a man's clean, well-groomed skin after a shower. The overall impression is light and fleeting for some, while others experience it as bold, long-lasting, and beautifully blended.
Pros
- +A refreshing and beautifully balanced aromatic-citrus opening that feels unisex and modern.
- +The melon and herbal juniper notes give it a sweet yet not cloying character, making it unique among mainstream scents.
- +Well-suited for warm weather and usually worn during spring and summer, offering a clean, vibrant presence.
Cons
- −Some find the metallic musk note overwhelming or cold, especially on sensitive skin or in heavy wear.
- −Longevity and sillage are modest for many, fading noticeably within hours.
- −Fragrance depth is inconsistently perceived—some experience rich layers, while others find it flat or generic.
