Public Review Sentiment

Public sentiment applauds the fresh, clean qualities of 'Windows Down', with users reveling in its 'uplifting' citrus burst. Though the fragrance has been praised for being 'perfect for summer' and 'a truly lovely tea scent', criticisms target its 'short-lived' longevity and 'soft projection'. Many appreciate its 'natural' ingredient origin and 'pleasing' scent profile but wish it 'lasted longer' on the skin.

The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

As 'Windows Down' dries down on the skin, the initial burst of vibrant citrus and aromatic tea gradually transitions into a clean and subtle musk. Within the first 15 to 30 minutes, the composition mellows into a delicate blend of nuanced tea and soothing florals with whispers of orange blossom that maintain a lovely freshness. By the dry down stage, aromatic woody undertones coupled with soft musk create a calm yet lasting base that gently lingers close to the skin, rendering it intimate and very personal.

Who should wear it?

Windows Down is ideal for those who love fresh, clean fragrances with a zest of energy. Perfect for men and women who appreciate subtlety over bold statements, it’s best suited for warm, sunny days. Whether active in day-to-day sports or needing a fresh pick-me-up for casual moments, it captures the spirit of freedom and leisure.
