The only thing I can compare this to is to CK's Eternity for her with a slight touch of something like Aramis EdT. It seems to have a vintage styled backbone that feels fresh and dewy, but also slightly spicy in a semi-bitter kind of way.

For me, this perfume paints a picture of a masculine woman, a girl raised by her grandfather, there's mostly florals at first sniff but the bitter classic, "old spicey" and camphorous masculinity creeps in through the cracks even when there's a big bed of flowers covering it. Like the type of girl that would wear a floral Bath & Body dressed in pink, but wears a manly watch and smokes red marlboros.

I perceive mostly what seems to be basil and grapefruit in the opening, altho I feel like there might be some blackcurrant too. As it dries down I felt a lot of rose and carnations as well as some type of aquatic flowers accord and orris roots giving it a slightly dry and clay-like feeling in the background. All florals are very nicely balanced, there's not one that stands out too much. When it reaches the deep dry-down I can feel a dark woody scent, with a slight resinous feeling and some sweetness as well as still remnants of the florals in the mid notes.

l think this fits spring time perfectly, summer a little bit and maybe autumn on hotter days. I feel like it's way too casual, I wouldn't wear this to a date or anything formal, for me this is straight up picnic vibes, super casual stuff, you can dress it up a little but not too much and it definitely leans feminine but it's slightly unisex. I'd personally give it a 6/10, it's pleasant, it's wearable but it didn't surprise me at all, there's also nothing that stands out too much and I kinda don't like that, I tend to like perfumes where I can say stuff like "oh this smells like cardamom" or stuff like that. Not extremely but at least to give it some "character".
