Juicy citrus bubblegum- an incredible opening! The bitter pith of orange peel mixes with perfectly with the lightly anisic fennel, hay and labdanum that gives me the perfect illusion of a bubblegum note. Fresh, sparkly and bright- and sweet like bubblegum but in no way gourmand or cloying, easy full bottle worthy for me. I’ve not smelled anything like this.

Instant love. If you like the smell or taste of chinotto, you need to try this. The perfect balance of bitter, sweet, sparkly, earthy, and spicy. The dry down is like Italian country dirt roads baking in the heat, surrounded by wild fennel, hay, immortelle, and bitter orange trees. I can’t wait to wear this in the summer.

REALITY : Tutti-frutti bubblegum with cinnamon, fennel, and a faint Christmas-shop spiciness. REVIEW 🦪: I understand why people describe this as a spring and summer fragrance, but to me, it belongs to fall and winter. It smells like drinking a chai latte beside a cold window, with something inexplicably spicy and almost peppery flickering beneath the sweetness. It reminds me of chewing bubblegum after elementary school while the scent of your teacher’s fall candle still lingers on your clothes. Sweet, nostalgic, and childlike, but wrapped in the anticipation of colder weather and approaching holidays. A little tutti-frutti ghost wearing a cinnamon scarf. 🍂
