OUR TAKE
Lemon, bergamot, orange, petitgrain and neroli made the opening intensely zesty. An unusual orange-blossom-water quality sat underneath and almost pushed the scent toward gourmand territory, perhaps with vanilla or rose in the background.
A distinct terpenic, essential-oil-like character became more noticeable as it wore. At first I wondered whether that reflected a high proportion of natural material, but it eventually became a little distracting.
