Pros & Cons

✅ The opening is undoubtedly my favourite part of Juniper Sling. The invigorating burst of top notes is bracing and does evoke the feeling of a gin and tonic.
✅ Juniper Sling is a well-crafted scent that delivers a fresh, crisp aura. Its strong juniper note is present from the first spritz, balanced by an undercurrent of spiciness.
✅ Juniper Sling opens with a refreshing burst of juniper berries, intertwined with bright orange and a hint of cinnamon that evokes the spirit of a classic gin cocktail.

❌ Juniper Sling’s longevity and sillage are its most significant drawbacks. Skin scent after an hour and 2-4 hours longevity on skin.
❌ The dry down I feel needed to be fleshed out a little more, as the sugar and cherry could have perhaps been a little more prominent.
