Parfum Prissana's Natsumeku is very citrusy up front (Yuzu, Neroli, Bitter Orange), but not at all in an artificial way. You also get the sharp hinoki wood with oakmoss and camphor, little bit of bergamot and palo santo, aromatic touches of lavender and a barely detectable note of rose. Highly refined, a mix of warm sun and cool shadow: I would imagine a Japanese shrine smelling like this. Feels calming, spa-like, even a tiny bit medicinal. Maybe it’s the camphor, but I feel like I’m smelling eucalyptus even though it’s not there. I’ve had my sample for a while and worn it often, but I think that antiseptic note (even though it's not unpleasant!) is what’s keeping me from springing for a whole bottle of this.
