  I tried it in Milan recently, fresh out of the oven. The opening is glorious—pure summer vibes with a craving for linen and sunglasses—but after a realistic burst of tangerine, it fades and the dry-down hits. The tangerine remains, but it smells much less niche and takes on very typical designer notes. I was told the name comes from an upcycled technique used to extract the oil, which supposedly improves longevity and prevents it from vanishing too quickly. It’s a shame that such an apothecary opening ends up being a perfume that, while good, doesn’t stand out or possess that extreme niche essence or celestial quality; it simply smells nice, but it’s designer. I think the price is way too high (€190). Even if this and others smell great, they don’t pass for me unless they drop to €120 in a moment of madness 😃🍊
