フラゴナール ヴレ オードトワレ - 38,00 €

The basil and thyme make this surprisingly green for a citrus scent, and it settles into a soft, mossy warmth that lasts most of the workday. I’ve gotten two compliments already, one from a total stranger at the bus stop.

The cardamom and lime really lift the whole thing, it smells like a clean kitchen garden in summer. I keep catching whiffs of the jasmine underneath hours later, which is exactly what I want from an eau de toilette.

The basil and thyme notes give this a green, herbal edge that most fresh colognes skip, so it feels more grown-up than the usual citrus splash. I sprayed it on at 8am and could still catch faint jasmine on my wrist after lunch.
