Bath & Body Works
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The first fifteen minutes are a citrus assault in the best possible way—bitter orange dominates, all pith and peel, with bergamot's sharp facets cutting through like a blade. Neroli hovers just above, adding a petally brightness that keeps everything from becoming too astringent, whilst an unexpected whisper of oakmoss already announces itself beneath the sparkle.
As the citrus volatiles burn off, white tea emerges as the composition's true soul, bringing a clean, almost aqueous quality that feels genuinely refreshing rather than synthetic. Fig leaf adds its peculiar greenness here—not fruit, but the milky, bitter sap of broken stems—whilst the citrus notes blur into a hazy, integrated glow rather than distinct players.
What remains is surprisingly earthy: oakmoss and fig leaf create a skin-close veil that's decidedly chypre-adjacent, with just enough citrus memory to remind you where this started. The fresh accords have given way to something altogether more contemplative and grounded, a green-woody murmur that clings to pulse points with quiet determination.
Lemon Drop Martini isn't the saccharine cocktail confection its name suggests—Calice Becker has instead crafted something far more architectural, a study in contrasts where bitter orange peel meets the mineral coolness of white tea. This is citrus with backbone, the kind that makes you think of gin botanicals rather than body care sweetness. The opening salvo of bergamot and neroli arrives with all the sharp, oily brightness you'd expect, but there's an immediate undercurrent of something darker: oakmoss lurking in the wings like a well-dressed guest who'll stay long after the party ends.
What makes this fragrance compelling is the way fig leaf and white tea conspire to soften all that citrus aggression into something almost meditative. The fig leaf brings a green, latex-like snap that sits strangely well against the mossy base, whilst white tea adds an ethereal, steam-rising-from-porcelain quality that prevents the composition from becoming too heavy. This is the scent of someone who drinks their martinis bone-dry, who appreciates the precision of properly balanced acidity.
