    It’s a shame it’s so light; I have to reapply every hour or two. The scent itself is super pleasant, a citrus and floral blend. It reminds me of 212 CH or Narciso Essence, though those last much longer. I like it, but the poor performance means I don’t love it.

    What a pity it’s so light; I have to reapply it every hour or two, but the scent is super pleasant, a mix of citrus and floral. It reminds me of the style of 212 CH or Narciso Rouge, although those last longer. I like it, but the performance isn’t enough for me to love it.

    VERY SOAPY. It’s halfway between Marseille soap and insecticide, but it doesn’t smell bad. It’s acidic and fresh; the more you smell it, the better it smells and the more you want to sniff it, but it’s not for everyone because it constantly smells like soap.

    VERY SOAPY. It’s somewhere between Marseille soap and insect repellent, but it doesn’t smell bad. It’s acidic and fresh; the more you smell it, the better it smells and the more you want to sniff it, but it’s not for everyone because it smells like constant soap.

  5. I didn’t like it at all. It smells like an old lady’s bar of soap. Very soapy, leaning towards lemony. It’s just not my taste.

    Fantastic! I never miss with Jo Malone fragrances. Every time I wear one, someone asks what it is or comments that I smell great. What I love about Jo Malone and Diptyque is that no one can guess the scents; they never resemble other lines. Blindly, I always bet on these brands.
