Scent Depot Score™

6.2/10

Good

Worth consideringA bright citrus blast of Sicilian clementine and tangelo leads, moving to a clean, slightly soapy heart of orange blossom with ginger sparkle, and settling into a soft woody-musky base (Georgywood/Kephalis/Serenolide). Expect below-average longevity and close sillage—typically a few hours with a skin-scent dry-down—best in warm daytime settings.

More Information

Key strengths

Natural-feeling citrus opening with ‘realistic’ clementine/tangerine effect.
Clean, approachable character suited to office and casual wear.
Attractive hand-woven bottle design adds gift/collection appeal.

Things to know

You need strong, long-lasting projection; this wears close after a brief opening.
You want a cold-weather or evening performer; community feedback favors warm daytime use.
You dislike orange blossom’s soapy facet; the heart prominently features it.
