Absolute

A perfect combination of citrus, wood, cardamon and a subtle amount of nelori. Citrus to lift the spirits, wood and neroli to make it interesting. The sillage is almost nil, though, so definitely something I wear just for myself. Ashtray oriental at first, which has got to be the neroli, but it smooths out quickly to a bitter/fresh citrus blend that rings more true than most citrus scents out there. There are green and wood notes to keep in layered and it ends just lovely and almost French, a glittering citrus gem. Staying power not so good either, but I keep a sample in my purse and reapplied several times a day, which I enjoyed doing, but remember, staying power depends on a lot of things, it happened to me but can be different with you. I wouldn't normally use the term elegant for a citrus scent, but this one earns it and I really would love to have a full bottle if I had a chance, very nice perfume.

A spicier warmer cologne than the yellow one (Essential), with cardamom and mint on the fresh citrus/green background.

No surprise Eau De Cologne! Citruses and orange blossom on top joined by a spicy, sort of chai tea-like note adding an aromatic aspect. It gets kinda clean-warm during the woody/musky drydown. Surely unoriginal and uninspired but well executed. Nice. Rating: 6.5/10
