Petitgrain

The green opening is so crisp it almost smells like snapping a fresh stem, and it stays bright without turning sharp on my skin. Wore it to work and got asked twice what I had on. Unisex in the truest sense, my partner keeps stealing sprays.

I expected this to smell like a lemon tree, but it's softer and more herbal than that. It's the crisp, green part of citrus without any sweetness, and it works on me whether I wear it to the office or on a weekend hike.

The green, slightly bitter petitgrain opening is exactly what I wanted for spring mornings — crisp and citrusy without turning sharp. It wears close to the skin for a few hours, then softens into something warmer. Unisex in the truest sense, my partner keeps borrowing it.
