 T he major player here is the citrus, a quite bitter one actually. I position its odour somewhere in between the lemon pulp put in a mug with boiled water and the lemon zest. It reminds me of the beginning of White Linen by Estée Lauder, however, it is watered down here so the result is breathable. And both are having a linden tree blossom element.

The scent also smell medicinal as if I have just walked through a hospital hallway or I opened the medicine cabinet.

Another facet that I perceive is of an iodine solution: the slightly astringent, liquid, ink-like sensation and that specific texture (I want to say the texture of corn puffs but that would not be correct), all a tad synthetic and, maybe, metallic.

A mustard note completes the picture. Diluted, it does not dominate and it integrates perfectly the composition.

Everything that I have described above might denote a strange perfume, yet the outcome is totally wearable. The only issue that I have with it is the intensity which drops heavily in the first hour after I spray it.

The fragrance shows linearity and an uncomplicated smell. I like it nonetheless.

My verdict: 9 out of 10.
