Elisa

Bought it at Takamichi Beauty Room in NYC bc my name is Elissa (said the same as the perfume though). A very bright, grapefruit-flower/orange opening that is surprisingly long-lived, followed by a very fun, sweet, almost candy-like note that thankfully does not steer the frag into cheapness because right after comes lavendar, and powdery white musk and sandalwood. After an hour of wear, I'd call this scent "powdered orange and sandalwood". Really pretty and femme without headache-inducing heavy florals. I'm flattered, lol.

This fragrance opens with a sweet, almost candy-like burst of orange and neroli warm, fresh, and sharp all at once. I also get a soft thread of lavender running through it, which gives the scent an unexpected twist. It’s a fun, playful fragrance and definitely feels like something made for summer days. Longevity is surprisingly good for a citrus-forward perfume, holding up better than expected without fading too quickly. Overall, a very enjoyable and uplifting scent.
