One of the best citrus fragrances on the market, whose main theme is a photorealistic mandarin accord, its sweetness adorned with juicy greenery: blackcurrant leaves, tarragon, and garden mint.
The canvas of the composition is purely summery: a maximum of white transparent florals and clean musks, which ensure a luminous freshness of the top notes from start to finish. A drop of vetiver with ambroxan merely gives the formula a more complete appearance, while also slightly improving the longevity of the fragrance. Trace amounts of Calone paired with Benzyl Salicylate add a light aquatic touch.
I decided not to include civet, since this note is often perceived negatively by many people.
Olfactory profile: citrus, fruity, green, herbal, musky.
