Interesting. Masculine.
Tangerine, minty, patchouli, bomb in the opening. Big sillage, decent performance. Really nice in the opening, but doesn't smell like it should cost as much as it does.
As it dries down it becomes more and more cheap aftershavy. There is a lynx element to it which is highly offputting. It becomes more masculine as the petigrain, mint and moss become more pronounced and the sythetic nature of the compounds starts to sing.
The opening is much more favourable to the drydown. Not a safe blind buy and not a must smell. It's not particularly artistic, but there is a complexity in it's arc.

A buttered woodland after rain.
A woody patchouli scent with accents of greenery and soil. There isn’t much from the ylang ylang, but it may be what gives this it’s sultry edge.
This is a rather linear scent after the first spray. In the first spray and opening you are hit with pencil shavings. The green tints and soil come out a few moments after when the alcohol has waned. The ylang ylang offers some smooth flirty butteriness but doesn’t offer much more than that and you can’t pick it out. All in all a very elegant composition; not very unique, yet not common either.

Beautifully Calming
This is a goregeous powdery, rich fragrance. It offers a lightness and heaviness that can only attest to the quality of the ingredients. That being said, in true Xerjoff style of the fragrances in this collection it is an upscaled soap/pomade/cream/talc powder/deoderant/shampoo. It is not worth it's price in my opinion despite it's beauty... unless this is a genre you want to invest in. This is a very high quality powdery iris, woody number and will fail to disappoint any who love such fragrances, it is long lasting on clothes, hair and skin; the projection is fantastic ; it is a stellar example of it's genre, but it is not unique. It shares a similarity with "Join The Club - Fatal Charme | XerJoff" but FC has more edge. And is cheaper.
A fresh citrusy... gourmand?!?
This is fantatsic. Bright and characterful in the opening with the blast of lime giving big mojito vibes. The sugar doesn't stay in the background for long, jumping in the join the party giving the this limey concoction a Refresher (the chewy sweet in the blue wrapper) like smell that you can almost taste. It takes me back to being picked up from primary school and handed a few pennies to go foraging in the sweet shop for the most tangy, sour and chewy sweets. You couldn't beat a Refresher.
This is a very happymaking fragrance. The coconut somes in to add a softer creamier edge to the zingy freshness, yet detracts nothing from the lime bomb we are experiencing. In summer I imagine this fragrance would pop all the way off, giving cocktail teas and sweet vibes all summer evening long. The sillage is rather grand for such a citrusy boy, yet as the fragrance progresses we are left with the coconut, rum and sandalwood which linger on the skin. Now and again a waft will hit your nose and provide comfort and joy all over again. Despite it coolness in the opening this is a strangely comforting fragrance. Maybe because of the Refresher association, maybe because of the sugar and rum.
A beautiful fragrance that sits firmly in the unisex catergory. The sweetness and coconut gives it a femininity, whilst the aromatics from the rum and lime offer a loudness usualy associated with masculine fragrances.

A young feminine fragrance. Very Pedestrian
Very feminine, very quiet, two of my favourite notes, however this doesn’t save this from being unbelievably pedestrian and dull(to my nose). Great gym scent, room scent, wardrobe scent and just before bed scent. Smells young and juvenile, but not in a cloying way. It’s just a simple, mass appealing fragrance with no nasty surprises. Not full bottle worthy, but worth a 10ml try.
The sillage isn’t that great but it does slowly lift of the skin throughout the day. The longevity is so so, I got about four-five hours. After 2-3 hours I had to bring my nose close to smell it but that may be olfactory fatigue as it is very linear. There’s no evolution with can bore ones nose.
What it is good for is layering with other deeper fragrances to add a floral, slightly fruity haze to other highly fruity + resinous or floral + resinous compositions. I’ve worn this with a few from Motif Olfactif, namely "Nectar Boisé | Motif Olfactif", "Moments | Motif Olfactif" and "De Toma à Zouma | Motif Olfactif".
