In the bottle

Bitter, or something discordant, at any rate. There's a lot going on here, and I wasn't familiar with any of it (at least, not in this combination).

 

On my skin

Very clean and soapy which doesn't bode well as that effect tends to get very sharp on my skin.

 

Dry down

Initially it's nice but I'm prepared when the strength of it starts to amp up and hit some astringent notes. I can feel myself kind of scrunching up my face in a mildly annoyed 'Could you turn the music down a bit?' sort of way.

The scent itself doesn't morph into anything else but the (by now) aggressively CLEAN blend.

 

Duration

All day, unfortunately.

 

Verdict ❌

Too sharp, too strong, too much. No subtlety here, that's for sure.

Received as an imp. A gently spiced incense. Nice! Light, airy, unisex. Doesn't seem like it lasts long tho. Small throw, so I imagine people will appreciate not being overpowered by it.

This one really doesn't work with my skin chemistry: it's all in my face with fresh grass and mosquito spray. It's a bright scent, but goes very astringent on me.
