Selva do Brazil

I am testing a mini spray of this today and I like it! It is very green and fresh! It reminds me of aloe. This would be nice on a spring day, to help celebrate the snow melting! I would be happy to add this next spring.

A pretty convincing alternative to the getting-harder-find Mugler Cologne. The petit grain note is very well supported by woods, giving this a soft yet present feel.

Got a sample of this. The opening is initially rather sharp and to me oddly reminiscent of 4711. That's only the first few minutes though. It does quickly turn milder and slightly sweeter. Frankly I cannot quite wrap my head around no citrus notes being listed in the notes. But yes, it is really pleasantly tropical green. Personally i don't detect much woodiness even later into wear. For me it just gets weaker and that a bit disappointingly fast too. I do like it. It's a simple fresh and green summer pick. But the way it is a bit one dimensional and how fast it fades, you'd really have to be generous with your application to make it last for some time. If you want it to last through the day, you may need to carry it along with you to freshen up. All over the impression I get from it is much more that of a eau de toilette or a cologne even, rather than a perfume. If you're interested I'd suggest getting a sample first, test drive it a bit, and then decide if it's worth the price tag for you. If the verdict is no, you'll definitely find something similar possibly at a drugstore even at a much more affordable price.

Got this in the post finally today. Very fresh, green scent. Used it straight after showering, very mood lifting and energetic type of vibe. Opening very much reminds me of 4711 or TFNP. Odd because the top note is only pettigrain. having said that this is very much a skin scent and sillage is very limited. This is the sort of fragrance I would wear on holiday in a hot country just before we go down for breakfast. We get back to the hotel relax, and then by around 12pm start our day. I would then put on my actual fragrance for the day for better performance and sillage. It is supposed to be a niche fragrance but I've smelled other designer fragrances with similar DNA's so I don't think its worth the money. Luckily I got this for £40 on ebay. Scent 7/10 Performance 4/10 Sillage 3/10 Value 3/10

This a safe, inoffensive and enjoyable scent. There is nothing out of the ordinary, it's a soft and delicate citrus/ grass profile. Similar to some baby colognes, minus the alcoholic part. It's an ideal Summer perfume, that I'm sure will fare well in very hot climates. It's a very restricted and simple pyramid of non synthetic ingredients. So you get that very pure, clear and unassuming result. I'm thinking this might be a good perfume to layer or tone down another more brash perfume. It's definitely a close skin scent and sillage in mild weather will not be great.
