Fragrance Bottle - Citrus Sundae フレグランスボトル シトラスサンデー Fila

Freesia and plum burst forth with genuine brightness, that characteristic powder and floral freshness you'd expect from the combination. Within moments, however, something sour creeps in—the plum beginning to ferment slightly, turning almost wine-like and jammy before that synthetic edge reveals itself, lending the opening an artificial, almost plastic quality that feels deliberately jarring.

As the composition settles, cashmere wood emerges with a peculiar dryness, whilst amber adds warmth but never comfort. That listed "rancidness" becomes unmissable here—a fermented, slightly vinegary quality that hovers uncomfortably over the sweeter elements, creating a genuine tension. The spice accord intensifies, warming the woody framework into something almost animalic and lived-in.

Bourbon vanilla attempts rescue, bringing genuine sweetness and gourmand comfort to the dry base. Yet cistus asserts itself stubbornly, that labdanum-adjacent resin creating a leathery, almost smoky finish. Musk and onion linger subtly—the latter contributing an unusual savoury undertone that prevents this from ever becoming a conventional sweet skin scent, ensuring the fragrance ends as strangely as it began.
