The take

What works

  • ●Lime-mint-mimosa accord with airy MFK polish
  • ●Genuinely uplifting summer wearer that smells expensive
  • ●Smooth and abstract — closer to watercolor than literal aquatic

Trade-offs

  • ●Linear — what you smell at minute 5 is what you get at hour 4
  • ●MFK pricing for what could pass as upscale laundry musk
