This is in the same team as Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Toit Christian Dior Dior Homme Cologne 2013 Clinique Clinique Happy etc etc.. but smoother and very pleasant, light summer scent.
Dominant notes according to my nose are orange blossom and bitter orange along with mint. Violet leaf is very faint. Orange is mild. Overall is quite natural the smell. Leans slightly to feminine scents.
Very pleasant and uplifting summer daytime scent! Sillage is soft, longevity low-moderate.

Neroli, orange blossom, violet leaves, mint & lemon. Quite French & a common take on a citrus blend. The more violets, mint mix with some oranges makes it a bit twisty, nut nothing new so far. Sour summery fresh and normal Meh! but good for citrus fresh lovers. Beware, quite weak.
Edit (After 1 hour) This develops quite weird! the mint goes away and the cologne fresh citrus MEH effect vanishes leaving the juice quite velvety fruity and CAPTIVATING! it has that alcohol cocktails vibes with that mild sour and mild sweet blend of violet leaves and sugar sweet orange. It has as well some fruit vibes but i can’t decide what exactly right now cause i can’t stop sniffing the plotter! i need to apply it on my skin to see what the hell is going on!

First impressions: This is fantastic, so smooth and well blended, feels very natural and not sharp at all, I can imagine being in holidays near a coast side in Italy. Fresh, green, very minimalistic but very well put together.

Really nice and pleasant! This fragrance was immediately struck by its simplicity… the leaves of violet blend perfectly with mint and mandarin, orange flowers are in the background giving the fragrance a sweet summery and Ozonic. It stands out,a summer breeze. Mint is strong but not heavy. The sillage is moderate, good longevity. Overall a perfume definitely not be underestimated I really like it !! beautiful!
