Beyond citrus tea
As soon as I spray this perfume, citrus fruits become the protagonists. The bergamot is very evident, the lime is less intense, I perceive the mandarin leaf more than the fruit. After a few seconds lavender and sage appear and join the citrus accord and for 5 minutes the scent remains aromatic-citrus. Rosemary and thyme do not honor us with their presence. At this point the fragrance turns towards the note of tea, which here is expressed in the key of green leaf, without the addition of sugar. Together with the tea I also smell the effluvia of orange blossom and petitgrain which are felt in equal measure. So the heart is green, soapy, citrusy and slightly woody. It takes an hour and a half for this beautiful arrangement to finally disappear. In the base there is an sandalwood, far too creamy, which is not supported by other notes, so it cannot be said to be a great finish. It is a perfume that in its development releases a clean, fresh and relaxing sensation, but has a sandalwood which, in the finish, clashes.
