Continuing with yesterday’s discussion of the Pecksniff’s line, today I am testing Fresh Citrus and White Floral.
The Fresh Citrus features notes of grapefruit, lime, amoise, lavender, vetiver, marine essence, nutmeg, oakmoss, sandalwood, and musk. This starts a slightly sweet citrus, with a masculine edge from the combination of the lime and lavender. The “marine essence” is very light at the start, but grows considerably in intensity as it dries down. I did not find the actual citrus notes to be very long lasting. After an hour or so, it is mostly sandalwood with a touch of marine. This is listed as a men’s fragrance, and while I rarely let that deter me, it does in fact remind me of aftershave. Will be curious to hear what others think of this one — if you’ve tried it, do comment! And if you know what amoise is, enlighten me, please.
White Floral has notes of orange blossom, bergamot, ylang, gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, cedar, musk and moss…
