Instants Riviera - Les jours dorés

The fig tree note is what sold me—it's green and shaded, like stepping out of the midday sun. Lasts a good four hours on my skin before softening into something warmer.

It opens with the actual zesty lemon, but the fig tree shade keeps it grounded enough to wear to the office without feeling like a beach holiday. The dry-down after about three hours turns softer and warmer, which is exactly when I started getting compliments.

The lemon zest opening is bright and sunny, like stepping into a Menton market on a warm morning. It settles into a soft, green freshness that lasts most of the day on my skin.
