A clean, aromatic, and slightly soapy fragrance with a strong woody-citrus character, reminiscent of 1980s sporty perfumes. It opens with sharp, fresh citrus and green notes—bergamot, lime, and rosemary—over a dry, powdery wood base layered with sandalwood and styrax. The middle reveals a subtle lavender and lily of the valley presence, evoking a vintage fougère style. The drydown is dry, mossy, and slightly rubbery, dominated by cedar and vetiver with a faint hint of patchouli and amber. While the scent is highly inoffensive and refreshingly clean—like a shower after a workout—it lacks strong projection and lasts moderately, with some noting it fades to intimate sillage after a few hours. Its performance is inconsistent across editions, but many appreciate the excellent quality-to-price ratio, especially in smaller travel sizes. It’s particularly suited to warm seasons and informal settings, with a style that leans masculine but carries a certain unisex charm. It recalls classic fragrances like YSL Jazz and Beau de Jour, though simpler and less intense.
