Our take

The algae note is a strange choice here. It sits in the base beside vetiver and vanilla, lending a damp, mineral quality that clashes with the bright orange and mandarin opening. This is not a seamless blend. The citrus arrives sharp and sunny, but the transition feels abrupt as the jasmine and rose heart tries to bridge the gap.

You are standing on a weathered wooden dock that stretches over a lake. The air is cool enough that you pulled on a light sweater, but the sun still warms your face. Nearby, someone peeled a mandarin orange, and the fresh spray mingles with the damp scent of the planks beneath your feet.

The rose and patchouli in the heart feel powdery and earthy, grounding the brightness of the fruit. As you lean against the railing, the vanilla begins to rise from the wood, smooth and sweet. It mixes with the wet vetiver and that distinct, salty algae note, creating a scent that smells like the boundary where the forest meets the water.

The entire scene smells of sun-warmed citrus, damp timber, and a creamy vanilla that clings to the air right above the water's surface.
