Description
-
Opening: The fragrance opens with an immediate burst of juicy, tangy, and zesty citrus, predominantly from Clementine and Bitter Orange. This brightness is enhanced by the light, clean touch of Green Tea and Orange Blossom.
-
Heart: The heart introduces the signature aromatic contrast. The fleshy sweetness of Mandarin Orange is transcended by the fresh, slightly anise-like, herbal essence of Basil, creating a unique and invigorating "fresh spicy" accord.
-
Dry-Down: The base settles into a gentle, soft background of elegant, subtle Sandalwood and a touch of warmth from Amber, providing a delicate anchor to the otherwise very bright and fresh composition.
The overall feeling is one of pure, energetic, and natural joy, making it a highly popular and refreshing choice, especially for warm weather. The bottle, with its iconic beehive mesh detail, is also refillable.
