Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I’d like to buy it again: I first used it in 2000, purchased because my mother wanted to help an Oriflame seller, but it turned out to be a huge favourite. It’s super fresh, summery, with a beachy attitude, clean and aquatic, uncomplicated. The opening is citrusy and sweet, followed by lavender, absinthe and cloves giving a discreet yet effective aromatic touch. The cedar and patchouli base anchors it to the skin, though nothing extraordinary. It’s very youthful and projects energy; it seems Oriflame tried to copy part of Tommy Hilfiger’s DNA. The flaw is the fixative: it doesn’t last, requiring constant reapplication, but the scent and price are worth it. Recommended sprays: 8 to 12. Fixative: 7. Sillage: Light. Intensity: Light. Awards: Great scent for the price.
