Authentic Self Woman

I really love this perfume. It reminds me of light blue with the musk toned down and the lemon turnt up! The big burst of lemon zest is 100% why I love it so much. I haven't come across it in another fragrance thus far and I'm a big citrus lover! It smells like a freshly cut lemon - it's sparkling and sweet so it's not sharp or bitter to my nose. Super clean, soft but zesty! Perfect for summer, and it's become my new favourite to layer on top of almost any citrus, fruity, light florals to brighten them up. My favourite combo so far has been layering it on top of Valaya Parfums de Marly (scandalous layering such a niche with an Abercrombie, but I don't care) and it's heavenlyyyy! Valaya is a beautiful musk but the bright opening doesn't stick around long enough. Authentic Self adds the perfect burst of sunshine and brightness to it, while Valaya adds a more intense musk and complexity to AS. Huge +++ for anyone who loves this kind of profile - the ultimate citrus!

This is amazing I'm excited about the new smell. Let's start with Rub lemon peel and Pineapple juice Ola-la... This smells Very tasty and not greasy. I fell in love With this smell for the first time. It's perfect for hot weather A little sweet, a little sour Perfectly blended. 10/10/10

This is a gorgeous citrus, i keep thinking it’s like a cloudy lemon. Fresh, clean and soft.

This is a lovely light fragrance. I wish it lasted longer. Very fresh and bright.

Is this fragrance a tsundere? A boy that pulled your ponytail because he liked you? Sharp yet alluring. This has gotten better in time or due to the summers hot and moist weather. The first time I sprayed this, I found it too sharp and masculine, like freshly grinded lemon peal with vodka but it has gotten sweeter, it specially if you feel it up close. It is still citrus peel dominant - sour and a bit bitter or tanin would be better fitting. It also smells lovely when sprayed in hair, very lovely! Not sure I will keep it yet but it is good enough to give it a chance, it specially if you want a really refreshing citrus that is not too sweet. There is a hint of sweetness but just as much as you'd feel the sugar in a lemon - you know it is there but there is still doubt yet it lingers and teases you from time to time becoming sweeter and sweeter. And this makes it enchanting. The sillage and longevity is moderate - about 3h, skin scent more than 6h. I don't find it very similar either to light blue (it is sweeter) or LG intense (sharper). The vibe does remind me of CK one but I would say this is a unique enough fragrance. P.S. the late dry-down (next morning) smells a bit like pineapple.
