I don't get the hate for this one. Sure, Nagel isn't Ellena, and her creations go in a very different direction to his, and I struggle with many of her perfumes elsewhere, but this is a lovely perfume. It opens like eating a crumbly lemon shortbread on a sunny day by an olive grove. It really is evocative of the island it's named after. As it dries down, a sunny vetiver comes through and remains, but unlike, say, the vetiver of the best-forgotten Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée, this never becomes pickley. It's a truly joyous summertime gem, it's completely unique, and it doesn't amp up the pistachio and become a gourmand snooze fest to join the current proliferation of sweet pistachio dreck. It's a love for me, especially on a day like today when the sun is fully out in early May heralding better weather (finally!).
Amidst all the synthetic cough syrups, finally a unique scent. This perfume is most impressive in the beginning. What I first smelled reminded me of lemons and fresh baked bread! It is definitely evocative of a Greek (or any Mediterranean) island like Cythera. I certainly recommend checking it out if you look for unique, unusual perfumes. I do not give it a 5 star because it wasn’t the best for me and it’s not necessarily a crowd pleaser but it’s getting my scent of the day nod.
