In the vial, it reminded me of Lysol antiseptic wipes that I used all during COVID! LOL. So, familiar and somewhat comforting (???)/distressing (???). If that makes any sense at all?
On the skin, it's less alarming, still lemony/Lysol a bit, but more of a cocktail now, lemony with simple syrup... perhaps a vodka hit in there.
Into the heart, still citrus, but much further away from that initial, Lysol-lemon hit. Softer, kind of citrus-lollipop, limonene, with an undercurrent of something sweet-ish. Ah- citrus tea-like... that's the description I was looking for.
This doesn't exactly smell like what I think of when I think, "Perfume." It smells more like a CB I Hate Perfume creation... like a pick-me-up scent, which isn't necessarily bad.
It's pleasant, like a citrus, essential oil blend wafting in the air. Definitely non-offensive. It doesn't have a lot of depth, and I suppose I wasn't expecting it to either. I did expect it to last a little bit longer as a synthetic, however, I guess synthetic citrus doesn't last much longer than essential oil citrus. Makes sense.
In some ways, this is really a delightful odor as it reminds me of being clean, hand sanitizer, pleasant disinfectant wipes, and this overall sense of a well-kept space. As a perfume, however, it doesn't leave a huge impression on me and it's probably not something I'd reach for to perfume my person.
