It’s a truly lovely perfume; I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I bought it blindly from Brasty, which is reliable, so I don’t think it’s counterfeit. The only explanation for its poor longevity is that it hasn’t macerated yet, though I’m not sure; I just feel like the odd one out compared to the wonderful reviews I read before purchasing on Fragrantica. It smells delicious, but it doesn’t last at all, fading in about 15 minutes like a weak body mist. Every skin is different, but there are perfumes in ‘beast mode’ that last on everyone, so it might be my skin or just a lack of ‘punch’ in the fragrance. I’d like to describe the phases and base, but I can’t detect them. I only notice a sweet tangerine that dies out immediately. I’m not selling it because I collect bottles and this is the prettiest one I have, but the contents are a great disappointment.

A brilliant citrus scent for those who hate lemon; the tangerine refreshes and sweetens without being sharp before moving into florals. A rich, daytime fragrance, nothing intrusive for the office. I don’t feel it’s suitable for evening or formal wear, though it could look perfect on a summer night. To each their own, of course. Unisex? Perhaps, but it leans heavily feminine. The longevity is mediocre to low, lasting around four hours on my skin.

What a disappointment. I bought it because of such pleasant and positive reviews, and although its opening is citrusy and the tangerine makes an impact for the first five minutes, it then fades away. To be honest, it develops a smell of ‘powdery soap’, quite literally. On my skin, it comes across as strong, almost like detergent; an undeniable clean scent, but so literal that I don’t want it on my skin. Even though it’s unisex, it suits the male gender better; my son enjoys it and loves that laundry-fresh scent, but for me, it’s a fragrance I won’t use again. I suppose it’s my skin that played a trick on me, but it has disappointed me immensely.
