Petitgrain

I've been wearing this for a week and the petitgrain note stays surprisingly true from first spray to dry down — it's like bottled spring leaves. The award it won makes sense; it feels both refined and effortless, and my partner keeps stealing it.

The green opening is so crisp it almost smells like snapping a fresh stem, and it stays bright without turning sharp on my skin. Wore it to work and got asked twice what I had on. Unisex in the truest sense, my partner keeps stealing sprays.

I expected this to smell like a lemon tree, but it's softer and more herbal than that. It's the crisp, green part of citrus without any sweetness, and it works on me whether I wear it to the office or on a weekend hike.
