Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Very linear and floral, but with a musky touch not listed in the notes. The longevity is short, barely lasting two hours. It reminds me of 90s classics. It resembles Kenzo’s L’Eau Colors, though on my skin that one lasts 8 hours even in summer.
Fresh, citrusy, and sporty; the petit grain stands out like lemon leaf or flower. Then a smoky note emerges from the blend of vetiver, flower, raspberry, and blackcurrant in the dry down. Medium longevity, ideal for citrus lovers who want something non-intrusive, with a soft woody base. Edit: upon retesting, I confirm I smelled that smoky note before in Insurrection by Reyane, in the blackcurrant leaves.
