I was curious and tried it this morning at El Corte Inglés. It’s a soft and light fragrance, nothing intrusive. With a pleasant hint of mint alongside the musk in the base. It’s not sweet or sharp like a mint gum. I’d use the word ‘crystalline’ to define it. It’s very particular, not common, with exclusivity. My mother said when she smelled it: ‘it’s elegant’. And yes, it smells clean and neat. Suitable for someone formal but with a touch of fun, ideal for over 30-35. As for longevity… after a couple of hours it stays close to the skin, making it an intimate choice. The longevity (close to the skin) isn’t bad, reaching up to 8 hours, although basically just the musk remains. (I wore it on my arm when going to sleep and it was still noticeable the next morning). I wonder if the 125€ justifies the longevity/projection. That said, you’ll have little competition wearing this.

It’s not sweet or sharp like a mint gum. I’d use the adjective ‘crystalline’ to define it. It’s very particular, not widely worn, offering exclusivity. My mother said upon smelling it, ‘it’s elegant’. And yes, it smells clean and neat. Ideal for someone formal but with a touch of fun, perfect for over 30-35. As for longevity… after a couple of hours it sits close to the skin, making it an intimate choice. The longevity (close to the skin) isn’t bad, potentially lasting up to 8 hours, although basically just the musk remains. (I wore it on my arm before bed and could still smell it the next morning). I wonder if the 125€ is worth the longevity/projection. That said, you’ll have little competition wearing this.

It’s a super interesting perfume, very different from anything I’ve tried. Fresh, green, cold and warm all at once; it has something that reminds me of Mugler’s Alien, that icy note that sticks to your nose. It’s exquisite, but extremely expensive for its very low longevity and sillage. I’ve looked everywhere and it’s no longer sold, I suppose it’s discontinued. I hope they reformulate it and give it better staying power.

A stunning fragrance for warm climates. Smells of mint, citrus, and a touch of musk; however, the note I detect most, despite it not being listed, is patchouli. Totally unisex with a lovely trail. Longevity: 6 hours. Sillage: for the first three hours, it projects at a medium-to-high distance. Satisfying: it’s a hit, nothing overly complex. Novelty: there’s nothing in the mainstream world that resembles it.

An amazing fragrance for warm climates. Smells of mint, citrus and with a bit of musk; however, the note I feel most, although it doesn’t appear in the list, is lemon verbena. Totally unisex with a very good sillage. Longevity: 6 hours. Sillage: for the first 3 hours it’s at medium/high distance. Occasions: much liked, nothing too complex. Novelty: there’s nothing in the mainstream world that resembles it.

It’s a really charming fragrance, maintaining quite fresh tones that give a cold and aquatic sensation. Longevity is relative, but in warm climates it has lasted quite a while, over 4 hours with a light sillage. Recommended for days with plenty of sunshine.

A green, fresh, modern fragrance without complications, pleasant and easy to wear, but with extremely poor performance.
