Date: 2/24/08 Weather: 35 degrees, clear

Comments: Starts with citrus top. Strong on the grapefruit (though this may be a result of the hand soap I just used). 10 minutes in, more watery floral (the lotus?). 20 minutes in, begins to pick up a sweet woody note. A bit pineish. Still smell some of the grapefruit and watery florals. After an hour – smells about the same, a bit of pine, some grapefruit, some watery florals. Grapefruit generally doesn’t agree with me as a not – but this one is nice. I can see this performing much better in the summer. Showered 2.5 hours later. Mostly gone by then.
