It's versatile enough to wear regardless of season or gender. The longevity is impressive, and the spray distributes evenly, which is a plus.
ConsI didn't find any significant drawbacks. However, the scent is somewhat heavy, so it might cause headaches if it doesn't suit your preferences.
TipThe citrus notes dissipate quicker than expected, while the woody undertones tend to last longer.

The initial scent is truly like bitter orange peel, reminiscent of cigarette smoke or pine bark. But don't worry, this doesn't last long! Soon, a cozy woody aroma gently emerges, blending subtly. As someone who doesn't typically enjoy overt woody scents, I find myself using this perfume frequently. If you like softer woody fragrances like Tom Ford Oud Wood but can't stand Diptyque Tam Dao, you might want to give this a try. It's available at Olive Young. The lingering scent is absolutely divine - it's hard to put into words. Some reviewers compared it to Terre d'Hermès, and I agree that the base notes are similar to my other Hermès fragrances. I use Eau des Merveilles and Sur la Lagune, which are quite different, but they share that familiar Hermès signature in expressing sweet or cool, comforting scents. Personally, this is my favorite perfume. It pairs well with a simple shirt and slacks or skirt. Lastly, I have sensitive eyes and rarely use perfume, but strangely, this one doesn't irritate my eyes. For some reason, this and Goutal are the only fragrances that don't cause eye discomfort.
ConsAt around $50 for 15ml, it's not exactly cheap. I bought it thinking it was an affordable yet luxurious scent, but the 50ml bottle is priced similarly to most department store perfumes. However, since I never finish a bottle before it expires, I'm satisfied with the 15ml size. I wouldn't recommend this for women in their early 20s; it's more suitable for late 20s or 30s. Despite being described as unisex, when I sprayed it on my boyfriend, it smelled very feminine. Though it might work well for some men who suit this type of scent.
TipI used to spray it on my wrists, but the scent would wash off when I washed my hands. Now I apply it directly to my neck area. The spray doesn't disperse too widely; it's more of a concentrated mist, making it perfect for spritzing behind the ears.

It comes in an oval-shaped box that matches the product color perfectly, really hitting you in the feels! The fragrance is lovely. I'd describe it simply as citrusy and woody. Initially, you get a strong bitter-sweet orange peel scent, and while this citrus note softens over time, it lingers throughout. It's accompanied by a woody, masculine skincare-like scent. The overall effect is gender-neutral and clean, without being overpowering - just a crisp, fresh aroma. It might not suit those who prefer floral, fruity, or intense scents. It's the kind of fragrance that works well for both men and women. As someone who uses multiple perfumes, I appreciate the small size. It's perfect for popping in your purse, and since it's not likely to be your signature scent, the smaller volume is actually ideal. It's hard to use up larger bottles before the scent changes anyway. However, I would never pay full price for this, considering the price per milliliter is quite steep.
ConsThe main drawback is definitely the high price when you consider the small amount you're getting.
