The First Spray
Bright and fizzy off the top, like biting into cold mandarin segments then a ripe plum. The fruit reads juicy rather than syrupy, with just enough sweetness to register without tipping into candy territory.
The Verdict

- Soft enough for shared spaces
- Juicy plum opening stands out
- Plays well with other scents
- Fades fast on bare skin
