Red Dakota

Sudden fear hit his eyes. "Tex is coming," he mouthed, "and he's angry this time." You try to see where Jeremy's eyeline is so you can follow it to big, bad Tex, reminding yourself to square your shoulders and breathe slowly. Jeremy's looking down though. Way, way down. "This...is Tex...?" you ask him. Jeremy says nothing, frozen. "Tex is a beagle?" He nods. Tex jumps up on you, eliciting a small scream from Jeremy. "He smells so bad, like cleaning supplies, I can't!" You look down at bright-eyed, lemon-colored Tex, tongue lolling out of a big dog smile. "She," you correct him, "smells really pretty to me... like clementines and vague powder, soft wood maybe..." you inhale the fur around Tex's neck. "I clean my house with those things!" Jeremy screams. "Well... then I guess you and Tex aren't meant to be around each other," you sigh at him. Turning to Tex, you whistle, "c'mon girl, let's go find a full-size version of you."

this is my favorite citrus perfume. i wore this for the first time during a really depressing and dark night and the smell of the sweet clementines really brought me back to my childhood of coming home from school and immediately watching popularmmos while eating oranges/fruits. citrus smells to me are relaxing. it is SO good and i usually don't like citrussy or lemony smells. after a while of wearing it, it dries down into this super pretty floral which i believe is the gardenia. it is so 'princess-y' to me and it does make me feel feminine. this is 101% unisex tho. i just have personal associations for certain smells. 10/10 would recommend.

Obsessed with how strong and unique this scent is. Sharp, almost sterile citrus that projects several feet and lasts. My favorite summer scent; the perfect antidote to too much sweat or sugar. I’d say this is a bitter citrus. I love how it’s unmistakeable in its femininity without being two things I don’t favor: powdery (aging) or sickly sweet (childish). Not a safe blind buy as a fragrance like this will react strongly with different skin chemistry. Skin that turns scents sweeter may have rotten fruit on their hands. One note in the best way, like fruit for breakfast. One of my all time favorites that I reach for again and again.

Picked this up after reading the notes and I can confidently say this is one of my favourite fragrances of all time. I tend to lean towards more masculine, woody fragrances which smell delicious, but haven’t really fit me and how I present myself. If anyone has listened to much Lana Del Rey, this fragrance reminds me a lot of her music. Clementine, gardenia, subtle wood notes. It’s very much giving a Wildflower Wildfire, Dance till we die and Venice B mashup in my opinion. It’s fresh and light and makes me very happy to wear! Will absolutely be my summer go-to!

This one was pretty unexpected, for whatever reason I almost skipped on adding it to the discovery set. I'm quite glad I didn't. The opening is just so pretty to me. The clementine and woodsy notes are blended well. Gardenia is there but only for a minute or two. I absolutely adore how much staying power that clementine has. I could smell it even hours after spraying, way after dry down. really lovely scent. Side note, with a name like "Red Dakota" I was fully expecting an apple note of some kind, but clementine is acceptable too I guess!
