seductively beautiful light fragrance. florals are not overpowering. rather high and citrusy. not deep nor enveloping. childhood memories of citronella during mosquito season. borders on a pleasant cleaning product but more grounded and complex. late spring/early summer sunny garden mood. there is a hint of something a little overripe/dark in the background (pepper ?) adding to the interest. a pleasant surprise overall.

It is a very well-balanced summer/ spring perfime. It is fresh, slighly sweet and very feminine. Very classy but on the other hand not memorable at all. It opens with a punch of citrus accord and what I mainly get at the opening is grapefruit, not lemon. There is also a bit of peppery spiciness which adds up to the composition's freshness. After a couple of minutes the rose comes to the foreground. It is a very creamy and slightly sweet rose. I can smell some sweet cassis too. It is very yummy. The dry down is quite interesting, creamy and bright. Although there is no Jasmin in the description it reminds me of its creaminess mixed with some very delicate lemon smell. It could be a very nice, safe gift for a woman. Can't imagine anyone not liking it. At the same time, it is a bit too little for me to buy this fragrance again.
