Phew this one kinda saved the day on the 'fresh' set I bought in terms of taking things in a more manly direction. Don't get me wrong I like 'Flower of Immortality' and 'Water Calligraphy' but they're not exactly butch. Love tea fragrances and this is a real challenging one which opens with fresh citrus. The strange watery quality of bamboo actually has a unique smell to it that I'm quite familiar with...it's in here but just a hint an infusion perhaps? just a suggestion by the other notes.. cleverly done though. It does have a slight soapiness from the neroli but if this was too prominent I wouldn't like it, and thankfully it isn't. Basically it's kind of a figgy, tea with a hint of spice which is transparent enough to make it invigorating and not too heavy, perfect for summer. It's weird though be warned...I've not worn it enough times to be convinced that I love it yet but it can't be accused of being too similar to anything which makes for an interesting juice.
