Japanese gardens
Between temples and Buddha figures. Cherry blossoms and bonsai trees. It is precisely in this Japanese-inspired environment that I would classify this fragrance by AdP. Characterized by fresh yuzu, lots of flowers and a lot of musk, Yuzu is a very good fragrance. I would like to briefly express this walk through Japan here.
The journey begins with an intense citrusy yuzu that is significantly spicier than a normal lemon, for example, which is mainly due to the Szechuan pepper, which also smells good. Nevertheless, I find it very pleasant and it ensures that the yuzu stands out as a summer fragrance from many other lemon fragrances or becomes unique. This character continues into the base, but becomes weaker and weaker over time and is then masked by other fragrance notes.
After around half an hour, however, the floral notes come in. These are very clean thanks to the jasmine and violet and harmonize beautifully with the still strong yuzu. The heart note doesn't smell bad at all, but it doesn't cause any enthusiasm either, as it is once again a combination of "lemon" and flowers.
These floral notes continue into the base, where they are accompanied by an intense musk. Not at all animalistic, but very creamy and soft, as we know it from Acqua di Parma fragrances. You can also smell the liquorice really well. However, I don't like it quite as much in this combination and it could have been left out, as it exudes a really pithy sweetness that pulls the drydown in an unpleasant direction for me.
I would describe the fragrance as unisex throughout, on the one hand due to the rather masculine freshness and on the other hand due to the feminine floral accords in the heart note.
However, I think the price of the fragrance is too high for what it offers.
To sum up, an average summer fragrance that combines a few other notes besides yuzu and flower that you don't smell together every day. However, I will most probably not buy it myself.
