  I’m writing this review without having tried it before, but I just picked it up on clearance at The Body Shop as the range is being discontinued, so I’m not sure how long it will last. The ‘Elixirs of Nature’ line has always caught my eye, but at around €40 for 50ml, I felt they were too pricey. I happened to walk into my local store and found them for just €12; I simply couldn’t resist. I liked all of them, but chose this one for its versatility. It’s nothing groundbreaking: a luminous, warm, and sunny white floral, perfect for spring/summer. It opens with citrus and grapefruit, which quickly gives way to the sweetness of coconut and tiare, balancing the sparkle with warmth. To me, it’s fresh, lightly sweet, clean, and not overpowering; it’s certainly not that typical creamy, dense perfume. It evokes an evening summer breeze after the heat. The bottle is beautiful: heavy glass with engraving, a wooden cap, and a recycled box. The atomiser works well. It’s intimate, with a light sillage and lasts 4-5 hours on skin. Perfect for daily wear in spring/summer or jobs requiring non-intrusive scents. It could be unisex, but leans slightly feminine. Overall, I like it. At the original price, I never would have bought it (I have similar ones and the longevity isn’t top-tier), but at this price, there was no thinking about it. Out of the five perfumes in the collection, I liked all of them, especially this one, Bowhanti (spiced woody, often compared to Serge Lutens’ Feminité du Bois) and Nigritella (powdery floral vanilla).
