This Acqua di Parma sample starts out fresh & spicy, with zippy orange, and other citruses dominating the scent cloud. Within 15 minutes the fruit starts to pull back, allowing the aromatic, spicy, green notes to emerge. It is very energizing, refreshing, and not sweet. Sillage and proj are moderate for an hour, then turning mild. At 1.5 hrs, the scent is mostly fresh, herbal, spicy, with a little citrus, and maybe a touch of cedar. Sillage is very mild. By 4 hrs, the fragrance is ultra mild, in skin scent territory, with a light herbal, woody aroma. Nice smelling, with a dynamic open, but short lived.

Fixing railroad tracks in winter is cold and miserable work. Smelling like an apple pie makes it 300% more enjoyable. I feel cozy, calm, and warm... even though none of thats true. PdM's Carlisle is my new winter work frag of choice.
