Next up in this alphabetical sequence is Balmy Days & Sundays, described thusly:
Lying face-up to the sky, dappled light flickering through the pale green of overhead branches.This one smells most strongly of lemon trees and freesia on application for me. The honeysuckle comes through for me as it moves into the dry down, but I don’t get the rose or mimosa notes at all. That’s not a bad thing; I may love roses, but I have quite a few, and this is a nice change that is floral without being all about BIG.WHITE.FLOWERS. After about twenty minutes that chypre and musk come into the mix, balancing out the initial lemons and flowers and giving this Balmy Days & Sundays a little more of a dirty edge, like the darkening of age on a classic still-life of a lemons and flower bouquet. Really quite nice.
Top notes: freesia, leafy greens, grass
Middle notes: honeysuckle, rose, mimosa
Bottom notes: chypre accent, musk
I wonder how.
I wonder why.
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky,
and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree...
