Wild Summer Crush
by April Aromatics
Wild Summer Crush by April Aromatics delivers a vibrant, juicy citrus experience centered around a bright, tart grapefruit that feels electric and fresh. The opening unfolds like a burst of Haribo grapefruit slices layered over a smooth coconut cream and a delicate neroli, creating a glistening, sun-drenched aroma. The heart offers a subtle, quiet rose and green-tea softness that blends seamlessly with the juicy, almost edible citrus. The overall impression is of a warm, playful summer day—clean, lift- ing, and full of natural, radiant energy. While some note the presence of wood and tobacco, many report they don’t detect these elements, and the scent appears more linear than complex for a portion of users. The longevity is inconsistent—some find it lasting up to seven hours, others experience a rapid fade. The scent works best for daytime wear, especially warm, bright weather.
