The lemon blossom and California orange hit you instantly, but the dry-down is where it really shines—that woody base keeps it from feeling too sweet or young. I sprayed it on at 8am and could still catch whiffs on my scarf after dinner, which never happens with other citrus perfumes I've tried.

The dry-down is where this really shines—that woody base keeps the floral heart from feeling too sweet, and it lingers on my skin for a good six hours. I caught the lemon blossom note every time I moved my wrist, which made working from home feel a little more put-together.
