"The inspiration for this fragrance was taken from the beautiful landscapes of the region such as the terracotta and bluish green fields where the blue agave is grown, the diverse flora of the region’s microclimates and the beautiful turquoise blue beaches of Puerto Vallarta where the rainforest and the sea meet, the fizzing sound of the waves as they sink into the sand and salty bodies warmed by the coastal summer sun. It’s a fresh summer citrus oriented composition, focusing on the juicy sour green limes grown in Jalisco, Mexico. The citrus notes were complemented with hints of fruit inspired by exotic local fruits. Also when I think about Mexico and Jalisco it’s very hard for me not to think about tequila and agave so I thought that notes of blue agave products should be a must for this composition. The blend is also flavored with hints of savory spices."

Did not have high hopes for this. Citrus scents can be kind of boring to me, but I love it. Can imagine wearing this daily in the summer. Fresh lime and salt air. Up lifting and clean. Maybe my next big bottle from Scent Trunk.
I bought a 5 ml to start with and came back for the 30 ml within days. This is a lovely, translucent, genderless, your skin but better style scent. There’s something a touch savory smelling in that initial spray, which I don’t love, but within a minute it dissipates and leaves what I would describe as a cucumber spa water smell. Think a serene spa with sunlight pouring in through large windows with a sweet driftwood candle burning. There is nothing punchy or zingy about this scent. In fact, I don’t really detect lime apart from some sort of green freshness. Absolutely gorgeous, unique, easy reach for daily wear. About 4 hours of longevity, which I feel is pretty reasonable for this style scent.
