La Surprise • MDCI

The rhubarb opening is tart in a way I didn't expect from a marine scent, and it dries down to this soft peach and sandalwood combo that lasts a full workday on my skin. Sprayed it before a dinner and got asked twice what I was wearing.

The cardamom and green notes make the first hour feel cool and a little bitter, then the peach and freesia soften it into something creamy. It sits close to the skin but I still catch wafts of the sandalwood hours later. Wore it to a dinner and got asked twice what it was.

The rhubarb and bergamot opening caught me off guard in the best way, tart and green before it settles. A couple hours in, the peach and musk soften it into something I keep sniffing my wrist for.
