The opening does not mess around. The top and heart notes come straight through with a beautifully balanced blend of citrus, backed with a hint of cardamom, combined with the punch of ginger.
This fragrance is a compliment puller. It yells clean and fresh like no other and brings smiles to faces and confidence to the bearer.
This stuff is magnetic! I do love PerfumeParlour they have the best variety and come out the closest when it comes to scent profile all at a price point you just cant argue with.
A community favourite: loved by 61%, disliked or hated by 6%.
It absolutely makes this one the best in the entire line, period.

The sweetness is overwhelming and annoying... it smells mostly like a really really synthetic grape scent.
It opens with a bitter bergamot, not very fresh, more spicy, then almost immediatly turns sweet floreal, distinctly powdery... it seems rushed to me, not refined.
Yes, it smells great at first spray and very much like the OG. However, I am now discovering that longevity and projection are not great .... unlike so many other PP frags.
