This one was an unexpected hit for me. After initial application on my skin I can immediately smell the rosemary and the fir needles. They’re right at the edge of smelling medicinal but the other notes seem to take the edge off, especially the grapefruit. I don’t know what juniper berries are supposed to smell like but I guess that’s the real berry note that I’m picking up on…maybe? The only juniper scent I’ve ever smelled (and sneezed my ass off from) was from B&BW’s. I think gin is made from juniper berries but gin just smells like strong alcohol so I’m stumped on the juniper berry smell. I agree with Elizabeth’s comment that this does calm down to smell like some kind of authentic fancy lemonade with a slight berry-like floral tinge to the overall scent, as strange as it sounds. I really like the end result of this one on my skin. I never would have picked this one on my own and I’m so glad I received this as a sample in my order.
Lots of juniper and grapefruit, very bright and juicy winter scent
At first (without looking at the notes) this made me think if some kind of lemonade. The fancy kind you get at a coffee shop. Upon closer inspection this smells like grapefruit and pine nuts. Its bright and citrus but also has a robust quality to it. With wear I can detect parsley.
