Lasting power and trail are incredible; perfect for spring and summer. Smells of pea and white flowers with ylang-ylang that persist throughout the fragrance’s evolution, while the honeysuckle adds a fruity touch. Nothing powdery or dark woody. Francis K. truly lives up to his reputation; I was surprised to buy it blind and will definitely repurchase.

A gift that pleasantly surprised me. Very French, floral, and soft yet long-lasting. I don’t detect much wood, but rather the citrus note that holds for a few hours before shifting to something slightly sweet without being cloying. I wear it to work. It’s not one of those that prompts ‘what are you wearing?’, but rather one that earns ‘you smell great’.
