Reminds me of Alkemia’s Mist Becoming Rain, this has a very similar overall profile in that there’s a very fresh, aquatic quality to it. I definitely get sweet honey (but it doesn’t read powdery, which is nice) and coumarin and hay upfront, and I can get the vaguest hints of juicy watermelon and rind underneath. The cedar is prominent but it doesn’t read cedar classically…I’m not sure how to explain it. I suppose it just adds a sophisticated woody musk overall? And amber and sandalwood definitely make it fuzzier and cozier. Overall it’s a pretty scent, but something in it is very clean that throws off the balance slightly. The coumarin, honey, and hay are strongest though, which I really like.
