Our take

Sci Fi opens with a brisk spritz of bitter orange and bergamot, the kind of citrus that feels more sharp than sweet, like slicing into an unripe fruit on a cool morning. A green tea accord slips in quickly, neither grassy nor overly astringent, and pink freesia adds a sheer floral lift that keeps things airy. The drydown softens into vanilla bean and cashmere wood, but this isn’t a cozy vanilla; it stays clean and vaguely synthetic, like the scent of a freshly unpacked electronics box – all sleek plastic and faint powdered sweetness.

The overall character is that of a perfectly pleasant but forgettable day-habit. It sits close to the skin, with sillage that barely registers beyond an arm’s length and longevity that fades to a whisper after a couple of hours, which matches the 2.05 and 2.66 ratings on those fronts. It feels mainstream in its approachability, not niche, and the sweetness is tempered by green freshness so it never cloys. This is a fragrance for someone who wants a light, uncomplicated spring or summer companion, maybe for office days or brunch when you don’t want to announce your presence. Skip it if you crave warmth, projection, or any sense of mystery; this scent tells you exactly what it is from the first spray and then politely excuses itself. For a name that promises interstellar intrigue, it stays stubbornly terrestrial.
