Love from the first sniff. Was little bit scared, cause it was a blind buy. I found Hikaru Daichi little bit too sharp for my taste, so was thinking it will be maybe simillar, due to the quite same profile. Its so airy, natural, sweet candied lemon bit sweet fruity, piney, woody, but also fresh spicy. Its very gentle, thin. Its type of scent which you can feel only when you are not focusing on it, its more like second skin scent, like spring breeze from hinoki forest. The Levander is quite prominent, but its so good incorporated in blend, that is somehow more supporting woody notes and giving them extra herbal touch. Sometimes the pine+yuzu got almost green hojari frankincense impression. A very gentle, polite fragrance with elegant manners in the Japanese spirit. So if you are looking for type of scent: people will smell you sooner than you will arrive and will smell you after you leave this will be not perfume for you. In case of many Di ser fragrances you need to left the western “designer” perception behind, also bold oriental approch behind, cause you will not fully appreciate it. And this is also aim of the brand, not leaving a trail behind you, it should be more as visiting the nature, which is not a eternal experience. This scent cant bother anyone at all, its more safe than regular mainstream perfumes and at the same time is artisinal and indie ( if you can call it like that ). It have more to the essential oil side aura, but the materials are really pure essences of high quality gentle disstilation process.
