SOTD: Gin & Tonic ā M. Micallef
Hosting an open house today, so I wanted something clean and approachable. Went with Gin & Tonic and itās been a great choice so far. First spray was around 11:30 a.m. Itās 12:31 p.m. now and Iām still very much in the opening, which I really like. The sparkle has softened a bit. Itās less fizzy than the first 15ā20 minutes, but it feels more grounded now. The ginger doesnāt have that sharp pop anymore, but the lime is still clearly present and keeping everything bright. What Iām getting at this stage feels like the freshness settling rather than disappearing. The profile still feels clean and airy, but with a little more structure underneath. That makes me think the lily of the valley and cedar are starting to support the top without changing the character. It still smells fresh and uplifting, just a bit more anchored. This doesnāt come across as a typical blue fragrance at all. It feels like a refined, niche fresh scent that works really well in a professional setting. Clean, easy to wear, and very pleasant in the air.
