Skin chemistry is funny...
... because apparently this fragrance is very citrusy and fresh for the majority of testers. For me, on the other hand, where the majority of citrusy fragrances tend to go in the direction of "sweet effervescent tablet meats toilet stone", the citrus is virtually non-existent, I can't recognize the "fruity" as a note and the fragrance very quickly becomes white-floral-green-creamy with tea + woody notes. Which is absolutely not a point of criticism! On the contrary.
At the very beginning, I imagine a hint of grapefruit, but it could also be ginger. And then my skin practically skips straight to the heart note with wonderfully soft jasmine paired with the ever-present woody counter-component. Plus a light teen note. Lovely!
At the same time, I think hard about where the whole thing sounds so familiar to me ... and then I remember my last "I'm happily developing in a completely different way to everyone else here" candidate: Chance Eau Fraîche Eau de Parfum (also zero lemon for me). The Mancera is basically Chanel plus tea. Armani Privé - Thé Yulong has also been mentioned here as similar and yep, it fits - although it has even more tea in my case... in ascending "tea-ness": Chanel-Mancera-Armani.
I also don't know why everyone always complains about the shelf life. Apart from Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum, I'm not aware of any delicate green tea fragrance that lasts for an infinitely long time, but at a corresponding price - how is that supposed to work? I don't want my surroundings to choke on it, but I would still like to smell it after 6 hours without being close to my body? The egg-laying wool-milk sow sends its regards... especially in summer and generally in warmer temperatures, nobody wants to have such a monster around, as a wearer I would be annoyed by it myself.
The teal-green snoot can definitely continue to rise and move in with me.
