What works
- ●Blood orange rendered with brilliant accuracy — pulpy, slightly bitter, sun-drenched
- ●Geranium bridge between citrus and woods is clever and seamless
- ●Cologne Absolue longevity is a genuine advantage over standard citrus EDTs
Trade-offs
- ●Cold weather kills it entirely — purely a warm-season fragrance
- ●Jasmine mid can feel incongruous with the citrus energy
