It’s fresh and revitalizing like other green teas, but unlike them, it doesn’t give that sense of cleanliness and transparency. The citrus freshness of yuzu, bitter and sweet, mixed with oakmoss and dry notes of bamboo and guaiac, makes it acidic, penetrating, and earthy, though herbal. It smells like a damp forest, moss with that Japanese citrus that underscores the scent of damp earth and wet plants, making us feel more in nature than other green tea fragrances (Bvlgari, Roger & Gallet, Elizabeth Arden, Yves Rocher). I don’t detect much floral, except for a very faint bergamot. I suppose it’s perfect for unisex. It’s not one of the most special, but it’s very pleasant and stimulating when nature wakes up from winter and the heat begins.

It’s fresh, green, woody, with a bitter touch I love for hot days. I tested it against Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea and they’re very different; Arden’s is more citrusy, basically tea with lemon. Here I detect tea, bamboo, cardamom, and oakmoss. It smells herbal and damp, like a dense forest with water running. Then the cardamom adds a warm woody note. That’s why I wear it in spring, summer, and fall. It’s original, unisex, and my favorite from this designer. The downside is the trail is very weak, skin-level. It’s made to be enjoyed by you or someone very close. Longevity is low, like most Adolfo Domínguez scents, about 3 hours, but it’s a treat while it lasts.

I tried it when I was in Spain and fell in love the moment I smelled it back in 2006. I made it last a year because I couldn’t find it in Chile; my brother brought it for me as a gift. It’s the most exquisite perfume I’ve ever tried, lasts all day, and seems to penetrate the skin. I searched everywhere in Chile for nothing. Do you guys have it? How can I get it again? I tried another green tea one but it’s not the same. Help, please. Thanks, I’m from Santiago.

The trail lasts 5 minutes, maybe 2 or 3 in open spaces. In Argentina, you buy it at the pharmacy and they give you an aspirin or the same perfume if there’s no change… It’s cheap because the money evaporates with the scent. I own the whole line from this Spanish guy and he still hasn’t learned to use fixatives to make it last longer. Does that make sense? No offense intended.

I didn’t remember the name but I did remember the ingredients. Then I looked it up… obviously, Adolfo Domínguez! Someone who knows how to interpret the women of Spain’s northeast and Levante. I met these fragrances when I was in the peninsula; young ladies on bicycles wore them. Tea, bamboo, yerba mate… A worthy perfume! It occurs to me it evokes La Maga from Cortázar.

It was a hit at work—everyone asked for it and bought it happily. Others found it divine, but for me, the opposite happened. Always test before buying! I didn’t purchase it because I had the option to try it for an hour. On my skin, it was a terrible experience. Remember, between paper and skin, any resemblance is purely coincidental.

I gave my mother a case with cream. The few times she wore it, she’d tell me shortly after to wash her spots because it has an ingredient that repulses me. I’ve seen it in other Yves Rocher products and it really bothers me. I didn’t wait long to steal the perfume and give it to a relative I don’t see much.

It was a hit at work—everyone loved it—but on my skin, it’s a disaster. Wish I could have tested it before buying! I didn’t because they offered a one-hour trial, but it was a bad experience. Remember what they say: what smells good on paper isn’t the same on your skin.

Mmm, smells super delicious. Gives a clean sensation, like just out of the shower, just like the shower gel.
