Scent of the Day

Don't be fooled by the name, it has no vetiver. It's a dupe of TF Velvet Orchid. I didn't compare them side by side but it smells close enough by memory. Dark floral with beast mode sillage.
One-two punch in the face from lime and lemongrass, then they politely leave you alone. I'm left with something like ginger but it isn't in the notes.
This is a gorgeous pikake which gets more realistic as it dries down until disappearing completely after two hours. Everyone around you will look around for the fresh flowers.
This is like Herba Fresca with a lot of lemon juice. I have to knock one star down for the poor longevity. Really well done, but long discontinued.
This is a bright lemon wedge in a cup of tea that dries to a light woody ginger. It's lovely but lasts less than two hours.
A cucumber and butter sandwich with a pickle on the side, bathing under a waterfall, then a 12 hour hike through the fog.
Naturalistic, smooth floral holding hands with yellow citrus. This is simply elegant and wonderful. Doesn't smell powdery to me. Lasts 8+ hours.
Sunny, uplifting, sparkly citrus, like drinking bubbly water outside a European cafe, underlaid by an effortless chypre.
This is a zesty, slightly spicy, realistic citron fruit that just fell off the tree.
No herbs or aquatics, just a heavy, woody mess like a cheap men's body spray. Stale, wooden, not fresh or clean in any way. Smells too masculine to me. This stuff lasts 12+ hours so I'll do a light application under some ethereal citrus or florals. In the best case scenario, this provides the missing mid and base notes to light frags that instantly disappear.
