Tip indeed – love watermelon notes in scents – but WHAT the hell is griffonia?
It is a serotonin precursor and is presumably there for the “feel good” benefits and not the aroma, see:

And, I might add, the watermelon might be there for the same reason…not sure it actually smells like watermelon. The “extracts” listed at the bottom all refer to the “non-fragrant extracts of plants with treatment properties”, as opposed to the “notes”.
I'm actually kind of excited about this. I went through a Dynamisante phase… I've never even heard of the other one,t hough.
I never tried it M, if it was worth going through a phase for, I'll have to look for it!
This is a gorgeous, yummy, uplifting smell.. just the right kind of citrus.. captivating.. unfortunately it dissapears a lot sooner than most perfumes but for a spray its expected, comes in a generous quantity with plant extracts beneficial for skin.
Most perfumes make me sneeze, this was refreshing and soothing.
