Our take

Does this scent capture the feeling of standing in a damp garden where the air is thick with plant life? Sky City (Before) answers with a profile that leans heavily into the green side of its nature. The floral elements are present but they do not dominate the experience. Instead, the blend feels like crushed leaves and fresh stems, offering a sharp and vivid impression that cuts through any sense of heaviness. It is a clean composition that avoids the sweetness found in many modern releases. The aroma stays true to its botanical roots, presenting a view of nature that is vibrant and slightly wild. There is a distinct freshness here that feels natural rather than manufactured, making it a reliable choice for daily wear during spring or summer.

The texture of the fragrance is where it defines its character most clearly. It moves through the air with a lightness that keeps it from ever becoming overwhelming, sitting close to the skin in a pleasant manner. While the green and floral notes work well together, the blend lacks a complex foundation to give it real depth. It remains fairly linear from the first application, which means the initial impression is essentially what you get throughout the wear. There is a simplicity to the structure that some will find refreshing, but others might view it as a lack of evolution. The scent does not shift or reveal hidden layers as time passes, which stands as its primary limitation for those who enjoy a more dynamic olfactory journey.
