I’m kind of surprised at this, looking at the notes. It smells a bit like oranges (it must be the yuzu being more realistic than usual) soaked in creamy sake. I bought this scent because of the rice milk, which is normally a good note for me from any brand. I had been a little hesitant because of the lemongrass, but all of the reviews I read said they couldn’t smell it. I assumed that meant I wouldn’t be very strong for me. But I really can’t smell it at all, so I’m wondering if it’s even there. (I don’t think it would be a bad addition to the scent, surprisingly, the scent is a lot sweeter than I expected). After it’s on for about an hour the sake fades into a more true rice milk, and the sweet woods come out. I am glad the yuzu isn’t lemony (it is often too lemony to me). Overall I like this scent (it’s the first Arcana I’ve chosen to wear over a whole day). I seem to like Arcana citrus (as long as there is no cinnamon or vanilla).
