    strange. I know almost no notes overlap with it, but I feel Odin’s 10 Roam on this.
    Maybe the spices and palo santo woods build that impression.
    I only noticed the many citrus notes after taking a look into the note lists, and found it strange; neroli and yuzu are distinct notes, not easily overlooked. Less so is rose, carnation or labdanum.
    This was a pleasant surprise reminding you that no matter how many trials you had, you can be misled or mistaken, and that’s the part I enjoyed the most.
    Compared to Ao, which I find unmistakably unique, Lingua Franca fails to impress me that distinctively; still, it is a well finished, pleasant and familiar scent with many personal favourite notes such as lemongrass, rose, carnation, oud, vetiver, and labdanum.

    I am guessing Lingua Franca is more complex than what I was able to pick up on. It’s a citrus opening, mostly lemongrass and lime. It’s very tart on the initial spray. This quickly dies down and the citrus becomes more subdued. Overall, I basically agree with Ursa Mater.
    The middle notes are a rather delicate mix of herb and flowers – not too many herbs, not too many flowers. It’s subdued compared to the very tart opening. The fragrance ends on a rather complicated mix of notes – I think I can pick up the vetiver, ambergris, labdanum and olibanum. They’re all light and there’s some other stuff in there, but that’s what I pulled away from the note scheme.
    Lasts quite a long time and the projection is good.
    I’m glad I tried this fragrance. Mikmoi is certainly a talented and interesting house. Give this a shot, you might like it.

    First sniff impressions: a citrus with some backbone. Pleasant. A bit like lying in the dry, amber-golden grasses of one of California’s rolling hills and then someone quite nearby cuts into a lime and a pineapple simultaneously. Strong hints of lemongrass, and then something sweeter starts to emerge, which my nose can’t identify. Fruity, abstractly Asian. Then I’m finding myself lost in a field of carnations, and it all happened so fast I’m not sure quite what to think. This is a busy little rollercoaster of a ride, and how you feel about that will likely strongly shape how you feel about this perfume. I’m a bit turned upside down by the experience but I do plan to try it again and see if it’s a smoother ride once my nose has calmed down a bit. I’m interested.
    An hour later and the drydown is more settled and smooth, ambers, grasses and woods.
