A vibrant and photorealistic citrus fragrance centered around juicy mandarin and green basil, offering a refreshing, light, and natural scent that evokes peeling a mandarin at the start of summer. The opening bursts with bright, crisp citrus notes blended with subtle green herbal complexity from basil, green tea, and chamomile, creating a lively yet restrained tone. It feels like walking through a sun-drenched Mediterranean citrus grove, with subtle floral accents of orange blossom and peony emerging in the dry-down. The aroma is intimate and quiet, clinging closely to the skin rather than projecting widely, resulting in a unique gift-like experience where others may not notice it. While not exceptionally long-lasting (eventually fading after 2-3 hours), its evanescent nature allows for reapplication throughout the day, keeping it feeling fresh and unhurried. Suitable for daytime wear during warm months, it harmonizes well with casual or summer-formal settings and effortlessly matches with other perfumes in the Aquas series.
