Cologne- but better.

I have a rule that I only keep EDP or higher. This fragrance is one of my exceptions. She's labeled cologne (roughly 5%) but she performs like a strong EDT or lower EDP.

She's bright, fresh, lemon, lily of the valley. She reminds me of a body scrub I was obsessed with in the 2000s. She isn't powdery, she actually smells slightly damp (not a bad way). For the summer heat, she's great because the heat keeps the lemon going. She gets lost in winter because she can't bloom.

    Lemon and Lily of the valley sound so good! I haven’t tried that one yet but it seems perfect for the hot weather

      It really is. After a shower and this it keeps that fresh washed smell without baby powder like. You smell moisturized lol. And for a cologne she lasts, but is more skin like.

      If you like from the garden, or Ligh blue, you should like this.
