This is one of the ideal budget friendly option to wear in gym all year round. It begins with nice bright citrusy notes, which I belive will appeal to anyone. These smoothly gives away to more aquatic notes in the middle, where the saltiness gives a warmth, which continues to a comforting vibe after dry down. Freshie, but not the cooler or airy side. Hence I think this can be worn in winter or autumn also. Good sillage, which is never overpowering, makes it perfect to wear in office too. Despite being an EDT, I always get decent 4-5 hrs of performance. Overall, a nice budget all-rounder scent.

This is a very very fresh and aromatic scent. The opening will bring a smile to your face with a burst of citrusy fruits, immediately energizing you at the beginning of a day. The top note consists of rich, juicy orange and grapefruit notes, which beautifully gives way to a herbal note in the next hours, and finally settles down a beautiful sweet (not gourmand) aroma at the base. I do not detect any distinct rose or fig, rather citruses are the protagonists here with every other being a side character that boosts the story. Very good longevity for a citrus-heavy fragrance and really good projection too. I have not tried Pacific Chill, so can not tell if this is a dupe or not. This was a blind buy for me and that was because of its parfumeur Lucas Sieuzac and it was absolutely worth every penny! One of the best budget summer fragrance at the moment.

Certainly not a blind-buy-safe perfume. For vetiver lovers, this could be a pure delight. Right from the beginning, you will get an pleasing aroma of different vetiver notes, some nutty, some earthy, a touch smoky, that is blended together to give you a raw earthy feeling. Among those lingers a subtle hint of sweetness, that will soon disappear as if you are entering more mysterious areas of the forest. As the aroma will slowly start to settle, it will get more comforting due to the musk and cashmere wood, which also lends it a nice woody tone. But still the earthy Vetiver will remain at the forefront. A beautiful journey through the complexity of Vetivers from different parts of the world, beautifully supported by musk and cashmere. I consider this a perfect daily wear, perhaps in all weather, but more suited to colder days. Unless you overspray, I think you can wear it in office too. Very cheap price for its high quality. A scent to enjoy yourself, not to impress others. I'd recommend this, but try a sample first. It not for everyone.

P.S. hate the cap of the bottle. So tight, I've to pull with all my might every time :D
