Graffiti™ • Xyrena

The melon and banana notes surprise you at first, but they melt into that woody cedar base so smoothly it feels like walking past a fresh mural drying in the sun. Lasts a solid six hours on my skin without turning cloying, which is more than I expected from something this edgy.

The spray paint and felt-tip marker notes are uncannily accurate, but the melon and banana underneath keep it from feeling like a novelty gag. I keep catching whiffs of that wheat paste and cedar drydown hours later, and it’s somehow both nostalgic and completely wearable.

I was honestly skeptical that a perfume could bottle the smell of a fresh graffiti wall, but the felt-tip marker note hit exactly that nostalgic, sharp-clean feel. The banana and melon underneath keep it from being too harsh, and the cedar dry-down gives it a strange warmth that lasts all day.
