Late Winter, early spring is perfectly encapsulated in this Neroli focused fragrance. Twigs with buds unfurling into the crisp blue sky mixes with nearby conifers. Powdery hyacinth and delicate violet leaf are suspended by black pepper.
“I travel to the coniferous forests of the Mogod Mountain Range on a bright morning at the end of a short but brutal winter. I'm surrounded by evergreens glistening with dew in the sharp sunlight; the spongy bed of needles and leaves beneath my feet squeaks with resistance. The air is crisp-sweet and sour with vegetal rot and bright green shoots, unfurling through the fertile soil. A sea breeze reaches me-honeyed with the bitter orange blossoms and the promise of spring.”

On first sniff I said “uh oh” I’m not sure about her. About 5min later I was like “wait, what??” 10min later and I cannot stop smelling my hand where I sprayed it! I stepped outside and it smells divine outdoors! It is for sure an earthy and slightly spicy neroli to my nose so don’t expect a sweet floral with this one. The way it smells when heat hits it is just beyond. Definitely buying a full size for spring.
