At the first spritz, Day awakens the senses with an exhilarating burst of top notes. The tangy zest of Japanese yuzu and pink grapefruit introduces the fragrance with a sparkling clarity, an ode to the fresh mornings of summer. These citrus notes mingle with the sweet, velvety softness of bright apricot and the refreshing coolness of lime blossom, crafting an opening that is as invigorating as the first light of dawn stretching across a clear sky. This is not a dark leathery apricot but a surreal true to life scent of a freshly ripened one.
As the initial freshness settles, the heart of the fragrance unfurls, revealing a rich tapestry of floral and spicy notes. The deep, intoxicating aroma of Jasmine sambac and the delicate beauty of white ginger lily weave their spells, enveloped in the creamy, lush embrace of ylang ylang. This floral mélange is beautifully juxtaposed with the subtle spiciness of ginger and star anise, adding a layer of intrigue and exotic allure. Lavender and geranium lend their herbaceous, green nuances, evoking images of dew-speckled gardens and wildflower meadows warmed by the sun. But the star of the show in the heart notes is the scent of gardenia. The balance between the Columbian gardenia bright and shiny and the ginger with its spice compliment one another perfectly. In fact, it enhances the gardenia to create an experience of sticking your nose straight into the bloom.
Transitioning smoothly into the base notes, Day settles into a warm, sensual embrace that lingers long into the twilight hours. Indonesian sandalwood and cedar create a woody, earthy foundation. The inclusion of Port Cedar and fir adds a robust, resinous depth. Mongolian musk introduces an element of the profound and mysterious, its rich, animalistic notes grounding the fragrance with an enduring warmth. Now let's talk about the Wild Malaysian Oud, with its woody nuances, infuses the base with a luxurious complexity. Each 30ml bottle contains just about 2 grams of Wild Malaysian Oud. Honeyed sweet, resinous, cola vibes one of my favorite ouds!
The unique addition of strawberry gum offers a touch of fruity sweetness. Enhancing this complex foundation are the mystical notes of frankincense and blue cypress. These elements combine to create a base that is not only lasting but also deeply transformative, guiding the wearer from the vibrant joy of day to the reflective calm of evening.
Day is a journey through the richness of summer, encapsulated in a bottle. Every note is carefully chosen and balanced to reflect the season's full spectrum—from the dewy, bright mornings to dusk. It invites the wearer to embrace the warmth, to revel in the beauty, and to remember the fleeting, golden moments that summer brings.
Whether worn on a bustling city day or a tranquil beach getaway, Day promises to be a constant, delightful companion, enhancing every encounter with its radiant, life-affirming presence. It is not just a perfume but a celebration of life’s warmest season, an eloquent expression of all that summer has to offer.
