Pros
A review for someone who loves sweet and refreshing scents. The lingering aftertaste was pleasing.
Cons
When first sprayed, the citrus scent is so strong it's almost pungent... The intense citrus and alcohol notes are a disastrous combination... Oh, it gives me a headache.

Pros
The fragrance is neutral and the top note is so citrusy that it tingles the nose, but the dry down is absolutely lovely!
Cons
Since it's an eau de cologne, it disappears quickly. On hot days, I carry the bottle with me to reapply the lime, basil, and mandarin.
Tip
It's a bit pricey, so I recommend getting it at the duty-free shop.

Pros
This fragrance is said to be quite polarizing, but I'm firmly in the 'love it' camp! At first, there's a slightly bitter note that isn't entirely pleasant, but the lingering aroma that follows is wonderful. It definitely has a unisex, masculine skin-like feel to it, but it's not at all common or boring - it's a very appealing scent.
Cons
If you really prefer more feminine fragrances, this one might not be for you. Some people absolutely detest it, so I'd recommend trying it out before purchasing.

Pros
One of SHINee Key's fragrances. It's a hand-picked scent that is especially good for summer use. It's quite refreshing, so you can go out feeling cheerful. Even the lingering scent is the best.
Cons
There's not really any disappointing aspect. If there's a downside, it's that it doesn't last all day, but since it's not a perfume, that's to be expected.

Pros
The neutral fragrance and longevity seem to last a bit longer, so I like it. The fragrance is not generalized, and the lingering scent is good.
Cons
The small capacity is too small. It seems to run out very quickly, as it comes out a lot more than expected.

Pros
My favorite perfume!! At first, the citrus scent is very strong, but once that phase passes, the lingering fragrance is so lovely ㅠㅠㅠ
Cons
The price is way too expensive.............
Tip
It seems like it can be used by both men and women

Pros
It can be divisive, but I've actually grown quite fond of it after using it a few times. At first, the unfamiliar scent was almost off-putting, but as I used it, the lingering fragrance became quite pleasant. Even the top notes have grown on me over time. It's a good thing I received it as a gift, because if I had bought it myself... My personal favorites are the Woodsage & Sea Salt and the English Pear & Freesia, and the Woodsage and English scents are ones that most people would likely enjoy. But the Lime Basil & one is quite unique, and it's the kind of item that grows on you the more you use it.
Cons
At first, you may feel some aversion to it, but give it a try. Be sure to test the scent before purchasing.
Tip
If the fragrance you received as a gift is initially off-putting, try applying it to the back of your knees or your ankles. Since it's further from your nose, you can get a better sense of the lingering scent.

Pros
1. Fragrance The fragrance is indeed the essence. Jo Malone has its own distinct fragrance. Not only Jo Malone, but most niche perfume brands also have their own unique scents. I personally love citrus scents, so I'm very satisfied, but sometimes there are people who really dislike this fragrance. For them, it may come across as a rather bitter scent. 2. Good lingering scent The lingering scent left on clothes or skin is pleasant.
Cons
1. Price The price difference between the large and small sizes is double, but the volume difference is triple. So of course, you'd want to buy the larger size, right? 2. Packaging However, I don't recommend buying the larger size. The packaging... is really heavy. And they don't even offer an in-store decanting service for the heavy container... Since the longevity isn't particularly great, it's better to buy the smaller size and carry it around.
Tip
Please, I beg you, don't make the same mistake as me and go for the smaller size.

Pros
🌿Lingering Scent: The top notes are a bit too strong, but the lingering scent is really nice! I just can't get enough of this lingering scent ㅠㅠ 🌿Layering: Jo Malone perfumes are often used for layering two different scents - this allows you to create your own unique fragrance by mixing and matching different combinations!
Cons
🌿Top Notes: This citrus-based perfume is famous for the Goo Joon-hee brand. Since I only have floral scents at home, I took the plunge and bought this citrus one for my first purchase. When I first sprayed it, the top notes were, well... let's just say it smelled more like a men's cologne. This perfume has a strong polarizing effect, but it's unisex so both men and women can wear it. The top notes are so strong that if you spray too much, it can give you a headache.
Tip
Just use a small amount when spraying! The scent is very strong.

Pros
The initial scent may divide opinions quite a bit. The basil note is certainly not one that is widely appreciated in our country. However, the subtle lingering fragrance is really nice, just like other Cologne fragrances. This one is expected to have very few detractors. First, the lime note is more pronounced than the mandarin. And the hidden mandarin note creates a unique citrus scent that is different from the zesty lime, with a pleasant subtle diffusion.
Cons
As expected, the fragrance longevity... I previously used Earl Grey and Cucumber, but this one dissipates much faster. The sillage too. I really get the sense that the scent just flies away so quickly. I'm glad I bought the 100ml size....
Tip
Using fragrance bottles to compensate for short longevity is not an option, but a necessity! Buy the bottles, please ㅠㅜ Spraying on clothes rather than skin makes it last a bit longer.
