FvsS: Composition No. 6

Joya FvsS No. 6 is an interesting composition that stands out for its utter lack of sweetness. There's not even a drop of sweet floral in this one, let alone the vanilla sugar that we find in so many scents today. I do see Yuzu and Lotus listed among its notes, but my nose doesn't detect them at all. No. 6 is all about the green earthy notes. No. 6 is so green and earthy that it borders on masculine to my nose, which means some women as well as men will absolute love it! Fresh-cut grass and freshly-turned soil for spring planting are the first things that come to mind when I wear this one. Throw in some trees and moss, too. This scent is the olfactory equivalent of shady trees in a dewy green meadow. It smells very natural and herbal and harmonious. The format is perfume oil, so the sillage is a little softer than an alcohol-based perfume would be, but the longevity is excellent. This is a lovely scent for Spring and a refeshing blast of green amidst all the sweet scents out there.

Green, clean, herbaceous, slightly earthy...but soft, rounded, and made gentle by the sea and grass notes. It's aromatic, calming and very addictive!!! This is the way I wish most shampoos smelled! I also love how it is unisex, maybe just slightly leaning toward masculine, but not by much. I adore it.

Smells a lot like fresh grass to me. Notes are interesting by themselves, but I found no "wow factor" in there. Pleasant, non suffocating smell. I have a roll-on. May be perfume from the bottle is different. Nothing to hate passionately, nothing to love passionately. Unisex.

so underwhelmed... from the notes this looked right up my alley, so I blind bought the roll-on. still smells nice, but there's nothing interesting about it at all - totally linear and smells like soap. expensive lavender and cypress soap, but still just soap. light and calming so maybe a good before bed fragrance - but wanted to like this so much more to justify buying one of the beautiful bottles

Recently purchased a bag of samples from Mercari. This was one of those samples. I am always extremely pleased when florals don’t become too feminine on my skin. This worked out so well because during the 8-12 hours on my skin it would exude masculine then marine and soapy and floral and fresh. I loved the way it changed and made me sniff my skin to make sure I caught the fluctuations. Price point is comparable to Need U and other marine florals. I would be curious to see how this compares to Osaito.
