Review of the Original Release of 2000

 

Bergamot, verbena, lemon, neroli, later petitgrain - all the usual suspects of a bright summer scent. Later it takes a slightly floral-green turn thanks to added myrtle and jasmine notes - but the citrus core never goes away.

 

A light and discrete patchouli is added in the base without changing the overall impression.

 

High-quality ingredients that are well blended give good silage and projection; and, unusual for this type of fragrance, the longevity is a good five hours.

 

Bring on summer! A classic, although not a love potion as the name promises.  4/5
