Still Life by Olfactive Studio, 2011

i loved the smell on its own, fresh and sparkling. yet it turned too aquatic on me...

Full of sparkle and joy! Lovers of yuzu, or citrus in general... this is one to check out. Still Life is a little tart, balanced nicely by the different types of pepper and dry woods. One of the happiest, brightest citruses I have come across in the past few years. Good lasting power as well. So, don't let the name fool you into thinking it might be boring. This was made to celebrate summer, sunshine and joy in general...

Average quality modern citrus. A slightly boozy lemon-tea cocktail. If you like to smell like a drink, go ahead... Dries down to a typical woody-amber base that while not being remarkably synthetic or scratchy, it's still very far from resulting enough interesting to bother...
