Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
At first, the citrus and pepper notes are very prominent, but as it dries down it stays fresh with mandarin and neroli, though it feels slightly spicy due to the pepper. It feels like sitting in a bar by the sea enjoying an Aperol. Ideal for summer and the beach. Lasts about six hours on skin.
Very citrusy and spicy opening thanks to the pepper, yet as it dries down it retains the freshness of mandarin and orange blossom; that peppery kick remains noticeable. Smells like sitting in a bar by the sea enjoying an Aperol. Perfect for summer and the beach. Lasts about six hours on skin.
I tried it in-store and was initially thrilled: creamy, sweet, and delicate opening. Then it became very sweet and sharp, but it’s not bad—it still smells lovely, just missing that initial touch I loved most. That said, the longevity is incredible.
I absolutely love it; it’s warm yet remains citrusy, and on my skin it smells delicious. My boyfriend thinks it’s out of this world too, and it lingers on clothes, hair and skin for hours. Divine for summer, whether day or night.
I absolutely adore this perfume: it’s warm yet keeps its citrusy edge, and on my skin it’s pure bliss. My boyfriend is obsessed; it lingers on his clothes, hair, and skin for hours. Ideal for summer, day or night.
Smells good fresh out of the bottle and as it dries down, with neroli, ylang-ylang and marine notes. It’s not quite as citrusy at first, but more amber-leaning. Perhaps my skin changed the scent significantly, as it eventually became something I already own. The longevity and sillage are very poor: it lasts barely four hours on skin. It makes a decent gift, but offers nothing new.
This perfume is overrated and leaves me indifferent. What stands out most is the neroli and marine note, which smells soapy. It doesn’t evolve, lacks good sillage or longevity. If you’re looking for a summer scent, this isn’t it. If you want a well-made clean-tropical fragrance, try Just by Roberto Cavalli or Irresistible Very Floral by Givenchy instead.
