The back of the label has the scent name and scent notes along with the perfume company’s name. The collection appears as follows:
Scent:
- ITI: Super sharp, prickly lemon lime akin to lemongrass. It feels like someone is thrashing my nose with lemongrass, asking repeatedly if I like it. After a while, I relent, which allows me to sense the keen lime with a ghostly vanilla sugar behind it. I can’t get much beyond that.
- Wet: This is still a very intense citrus-forward blend with the lime, lemon, and tart yuzu, but at least on the skin, very subdued tones of vanilla cream, jasmine, and sugar are evident, but minimally so. It might be too much citrus for me, which is saying a great deal.
- Dry: There’s much more nuance once Cooper has dried with a warmer truly whipped cream base mixed with mallowy musk kissed with tonka and a lacey floral along with a whisper of citrus. It’s worth the dry-down.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “Lemon Heads with a hint of Irish Spring. It’s nice.” -Tony
