Pacific Chill

Citrus, mint and coolness. Inspired by Pacific Chill.

Citrus and mint make the opening watery and cooling, with blackcurrant and coriander running through. Stays light and clear from beginning to end — one of the few fragrances that genuinely feels cold.

How it develops

The opening is a cold glass: citron, orange and lemon, with mint literally cooling it, blackcurrant for a juicy, slightly tart edge and coriander for a green, herbal prickle. The heart is a surprise: apricot and May rose, soft and fruity-floral, with basil and carrot seed adding a green, earthy, almost kitchen-garden tone. The base stays light but grows sweeter: fig and dates, ripe and milky, with musk ambrette — a plant-based musk — laying everything softly on the skin. From cold juice to ripe fig.

Who it's for, and when

Unisex, wearable for him and her. Summer and warm days, daytime. It doesn't work in winter. Looking for pure orange and sun from the same house, see L-160. Want citrus and green apple in a more compact bottle, D-150 is the neighbour.

How to wear it

Citrus evaporates quickly, so be generous: three to four sprays on neck, wrists and chest, on moisturised skin. Don't rub. On warm days it lasts longer on fabric than on skin.
