A Day In My Life

I love this fragrance, but I’ll let others speak for how great it smells. Instead, I want to talk about the bottle because it needs to be addressed. This fragrance comes with a plastic cap, a glass bottle, and a leaky diffuser. It just sits on my cabinet — never exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight — yet the diffuser still occasionally leaks. The worst part is that the juice (alcohol) slowly dissolves the cap and creates gooey, sticky black residue. The cap appears to be two-layered, and they likely used some kind of black adhesive to hold it together. The alcohol breaks it down over time. I ended up throwing the cap away. I know Mark Buxton himself dislikes cheap-feeling bottles, which makes it even more surprising that this issue hasn’t been fixed. I really wish this came in the freedom collection bottles.

One of my personal go to fragrances, i purchased a sample while purchasing Message in a Bottle (now message in a perfume). At the first opening it smelt interesting but didn’t seem like it was anything impressive, BUT then dry down with the protruding rosy floral-ness was just awesome! and it really became a must have in my perfume cabinet! Mark is one of my favorite perfumers and in my opinion this is a master piece.

This is so interesting! A refreshing green and even aquatic take on rose. The utter opposite of the stifling Opus XII by Amouage. I get a crisp breeze in a rose garden next to a swimming pool in Monaco. I could see it leaning male for some. It’s almost like a rosy summertime fougere. I’ll be wearing this to the next pool party I attend.

Absolutely love this. Usually not a big fan of rose on myself, but this one really impressed me. Spicy/peppery rose with a hint of mandarin

Super strong orange & rose. Perfect for summer!
