The opening burst of lime and ginger is so sharp it practically wakes you up, and the dry-down into that soft, musky Iso E Super base lasts well past my workday. I’ve gotten three compliments already, which never happens with my usual citrus scents.

Iris and water lily round out the citrus so the drydown feels clean without going soapy. The hedione gives it a subtle radiance that lasts a good six hours on my skin, which surprised me for something so bright.

The juniper and ginger give it a sharp, almost sparkling opening that I didn't expect from a citrus scent, and the Iso E Super keeps it clinging to my skin for hours. It's become my go-to for workdays when I want something clean but not boring.
