Ptisenbon

Firstly, I love the freshness of this inoffensive cologne. I think it's always best in hot and humid weather. In addition, I cannot help but share my experience with this fragrance while hiking in Victoria, Australia, one summer day: Before heading out, I applied this generously because my skin tends to eat up this scent; I remember spraying it inside my clothes too. And so we were trekking. If you know Australian summers, you know that bugs are everywhere, massive and soo many. All my friends were bug magnets, even if they'd been spraying bug repellents, but everyone noticed how none of the bugs was touching my clothes. LOL. Deep inside, I think I know what's going on. I'll stick to this scent during the summertime in the land down under as it acts as a surprising insect repellent. ;)

This is my first ever perfume, gifted to me by my aunt. I fell in love with this fragrance immediately and I went through 2-3 bottles of this during my teenage years. This fragrance is very light and refreshing, suitable for everyday wear. I still love this one, but it is too weak for me now. I can only smell it when I sniff it up close and it disappears completely within an hour. I have to carry the bottle around the entire day and overspray a lot which is very inconvenient. Because of this, I don’t wear this consistently anymore and I also don’t plan on buying a new bottle anytime soon. It would be great if they can release this in another level of concentration.

I first purchased a bottle of this around 2003. I'm on my second bottle now. I think the first bottle I had must be the original formula because the quality seems different, and while I do prefer the original, I still love this scent. I wouldn't normally gravitate towards citrus, but it is so delicate and gentle in this blend. It's very clean but not in the lemon Pledge sense. It's the type of thing you'd want to put on before bed after a nice shower. It doesn't scream "perfume"; it's one of those fragrances that could just be the way someone naturally smells. I can see why this was marketed as a child's scent, but it doesn't read as juvenile on an adult.

This was one of my first perfumes during high school. I remember this as a light, airy, and fresh fragrance. It's like a clean and shower fresh type of scent. I had the one in the smoked glass bottle with the designed cap on. It's perfume, but it was inoffensive and could be worn daily. Heck, I even wore the hell out of this to school. It was just enough to make you smell clean. It sat close to my skin as it dried down. I also wore this no matter the weather, but it stood out a lot during summer and spring. 9/10 - fragrance 8/10 - longevity 6/10 - sillage 10/10 - packaging (really cute)

This is a very gentle mist of orange blossom and soft citrus. Part of what makes it so soft is that my bottle is either alcohol free or has an extremely low alcohol content, and although the scent is fleeting, it leaves a very faint but beautiful orange glow upon drydown. The only down side is that on hot days, it lacks the bracing sensation of alcohol evaporation, but the bright side is that you can really pour it on without worrying about overdoing it, and it also works well as a mist on sheets and clothing.
