Scent Journey
The first spritz is a burst of sparkling grapefruit and juicy peach, with a tangy gooseberry twist that feels like biting into a frozen fruit pop on a hot day.
As the initial zest settles, a soft floral heart emerges—freesia and peony add a delicate, airy sweetness, while gentiana brings a subtle green, slightly bitter edge that keeps the composition from becoming cloying.
In the drydown, the fragrance warms with benzoin and amber, grounded by creamy sandalwood and clean musk, while juniper berry adds a lingering aromatic freshness that echoes the citrus opening.
Performance Dashboard
Official longevity data is not provided, but as an EDT, expect around 4-6 hours on skin, typical for this concentration and similar fruity-citrus scents.
Projection is not specified; anticipate an arm's length presence for the first hour, then settling into a personal bubble.
Sillage is not officially listed; based on the genre, it likely sits close to the skin with a moderate scent trail that is noticeable but not overwhelming.
