Brilliant fragrance
I can honestly say that I've never smelled anything from B&M I didn't like, but there are some fragrances I feel like deserve special praise, and this is one. The tangerine/ apricot opening is done in such a way that I don't feel like I can draw an accurate comparison to another frag. The tangerine is smooth and polished, while the apricot adds just a hint of tartness. The Slumberhouse Pear & Olive opening is very similar in that it has this almost creamy quality. I've noticed that I find similarities between Josh and Will's work regularly, and I mean this as a compliment to both because they both produce fragrances I am excited about. However Will's technique yields a much more approachable result in many cases, whereas Josh is unapologetically artistic and can sometimes be "too much" for those not looking for a very niche frag. The florals are not far behind in the opening, layering seamlessly but detectably with the tangerine and apricot. I get slightly more lily of the valley early on. The fresh laundry note is detectable after a while and I suspect it is a result of other notes blending although I can't pick them out individually. Towards the end of the life of the fragrance (which is a good while), I can detect some of the woody-ness and oakmoss, and for me its almost as if there is a very slight barbershop vibe living beneath the rest of it, but it is very slight. All in all, I could go on for a while about this one, but I think it deserves the praise. I will say that it leans feminine but IDGAF and I wear what I want. I can see it layering well if you wanted to, but it is gorgeous on its own so I'll probably let it stand on it's own most of the time.
