The perfumer wrote that she made this fragrance to explore what she feels are underutilized floral notes and I think she hit it right out of the park. This is not your typical bouquet of flowers. This is walking into a green house at the botanical garden. Its filled with some flowers you recognize but most you don't. You immediately fall in love with the interesting blend of white and tropical scents. This is one of my new favorite floral fragrances, it has everything I love about florals but slightly different. There is a bit of indolic-ness with some heat and humidity mixed with hints of green to keep it bright.

This fragrance is mainly a skin scent but with some lift. This lasted about 4 hours on my skin.

A cheerful, spring to summer floral. This is a difficult scent for me to describe. Its better experienced! In the opening there's a temporary pink pepperiness that swiftly shifts in to this pretty mix of sweet, salty, & musky. It's like the tropical floral perfume equivalent of a bag of chex mix. Addictive to those who crave complexity! This mellows out on dry down, settles in as smooth, lemony-sweet floral that has a subtle pop of green & sea spray.

Longevity in edp is fantastic on fabric but I almost exclusively wear this on skin, where it holds well too. Something here meshes with my chemistry & creates this olfactory wild ride of.. bouquet that nearly fell in the ocean -> fresh cut tropical flower tucked behind your ear -> apricot lokum topped lightly with sea salt. I adore this scent!

Smells like a salty, briny, musky version of a fresh floral perfume, like Marc Jacobs Daisy meets the open ocean.

I concur with the other reviewer -- this is an underrated floral from Cirrus! The opening is the smell of early spring for me: sunny, yellow daffodils nodding gently in the breeze. That note is brief and fades after a minute, giving way to the nectar of heartier florals. The ylang-ylang and plumeria bring a tropical fruitiness, counterbalancing the bright, lemony fragrance of the daphne. The combined effect is of fragrant yellow florals over a delectable, jammy base. It’s romantic and happy, like lounging in a sunny garden amidst the flowerbeds. The silage of the oil is fainter on me than some of Cirrus’ other scents, and so I may order this in the EDP next. But that’s my only complaint; I’m excited to wear this in the spring and into the summer.

I have taken solitary walks in wintertime, forgetting about the magic of flowers until something fresh, powdery, and floral pumps through the vents of nearby houses as someone runs their dryer, evoking the land of friendly flowers. Getting my nose on this feels like fate. This is hope floating. It’s a cashmere blanket pulled out of the dryer during winter while you’re still dreaming of open flowers during spring. It lifts your sore, aching heart back into the land of dreams. It’s feeling boundless love as you lick an envelope containing all your secrets and fantasies, and buying yourself a bouqet of flowers on Valentine’s Day and finishing a whole box of powdery conversation sweethearts to yourself.
