There are SO many citrus fruits, each possessed of its personal singular attraction. Given their innate collective tang, it feels becoming that counterbalance and complement would comply with upon their jovial heels. Using candy orange and neroli contributes a sure measure of lusciousness to offset the effusive tonicity of lime, lemon, bergamot and cedrat (citron or etrog) – together with the tenderly sulphuric, barely bitter tones of grapefruit. Enlivening as these supplies are, they’re enhanced significantly by the addition of deftly-dosed lavender with its interesting floral/natural aspects. They peek out of Zest periodically, simply to be sure to’re not ignoring them – sleek and lilting. The radiance and sotto voce animalic murmur of ylang ylang (So buttery! Tinged with ripe banana!) and glowing, powdery mimosa are most welcome; these incrementally, however subtly – improve the breadth of olfactory palette in a sublime style. White musk helps maintain the tenacity of this fragrance with out suffocating it; its impact resembles gossamer in all its delicacy. Sandy doesn’t compose brash, loud perfumes – an attribute which renders them wearable, timeless and charming. Her fragrances echo the perfect ensemble: you’re snug in your individual pores and skin,in a position to transfer unrestrained and really feel completely polished.
