Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

It's just sour citruses that press on your brain, and the wood is barely audible. The scent, of course, works, but only for summer, I don't understand how it can be considered versatile 😒
5/5

Lemon with a powerful character, as if soaked in ink. There's a distinct noir note, that darkness and strength. No sweetness here, rather it's bitter. A fragrance with character!! An excellent choice for a gift for both men and women
3/5

The scent is indeed fresh and invigorating, but, in my opinion, it's more suited for men. It has notes of wood and citrus with a slight bitterness. However, looking at the pyramid, I expected something more interesting 😕
3/5

Oh, where are my tea and smoke? They didn't give me that pleasure(( Instead, they offered fresh wood and sharp citrus notes. The result was a rather simple and clear fragrance that invigorates. But why promise something then? I feel cheated somehow!!!
4/5

The scent of a lemon seed when you crush it is truly noticeable. Lemon is also at the forefront, and neroli seems to add freshness. Fortunately, I don't smell smoke or sweat, which is a relief. There are woody notes in the base, but they're not too prominent. Longevity, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired, and the sillage is quite close to the skin
4/5

The scent is truly interesting, it has a woody note that evokes associations with something masculine. Bitter orange combines perfectly with this note, creating an unusual impression. I like it, but sometimes the question arises: how will others perceive it? Overall, the feeling from the fragrance is joyful and light
4/5

What the heck? This citrus is weird and confusing, at first it seems simple, but then it gives off something sour-woody, like it's raw. There's even a feeling of something animalic nearby. I can't figure out what this smell is at all 😒
4/5

A scent that seems to transport you to a forest. Imagine how brewing tea over an open fire fills the air. It's rich, with a light smokiness, and to it, they've added bright, sharp zest of an unusual fruit, giving it citrus freshness. A true feast for the senses!
5/5

What an amazing fragrance for men, especially in spring and summer! The citrus note here is simply unique, it sounds so dark and mysterious. It starts with a bright lemon that literally makes your mouth water, as if you're craving a sip of refreshing lemonade. And closer to the base, an interesting salty-mineral nuance appears, reminiscent of crunchy brown sugar crystals. It's simply a feast for the senses!
5/5
5
This fragrance starts with a sharp, almost prickly accord of lemon zest, and black lemon adds some spicy sourness. The middle notes are simply overwhelming - bitter lime and black tea, which seems to be just waiting to finish you off. Sillage? It's so light you won't even notice it unless you stand right under someone's nose. These sweet and sour cabreuva notes, which are supposed to be exotic, actually resemble freshly cut grass and pollen, but not in a good way. All in all, not impressive, to be honest!!
3/5
3
The citrus here is deep, of course, but somewhat too rough. There's density, but you wouldn't call it pleasant. Woody notes clearly dominate, it's more aimed at a masculine audience. Lemon zest seems to be simply crushed, and wood is absolutely at the forefront. Smoke? No, it doesn't smell like that here
