Start to finish

07/20/26 6 spritzes inner wrists, forearms and both sides of my neck.

What started off as a pungent deep olive oil soaked preserved lemon with mint has transformed.

Initially you get punched with a dark citrus and mint infusion. It has depth and feels a bit heavy on skin initially. its going on 13 hours on and its lightened. The mint has receded around the 4 hour mark. From that point it becomes lighter and lighter. musk stays to show itself and the citrus transforms in Button like fashion backwards from a preserved state to a much brighter fresh squeezed lemon with zest. Vanilla is also more prevalent on the drydown. Notes of patchouli, oud, almond, and leather are more than likely what causes this to feel heavy initially. The blend is really good in my opinion because some of the best and bad notes evaporate thru the wear leaving it very fresh in the end. Ive not been a big fan of Mancera or Montauk but if they have s few more gems like this ill have to reconsider. I also enjoy Cedrat Boise.

Please go easy on sprays the first time this starts off strong and layers remove themselves till your left with spring/ summer vibes.
