Ephiphany

The opening is extremely zesty and green due to the citrus fruits, but is immediately accompanied by an elegant, slightly spicy saffron and pepper note. As it develops, an exciting contrast emerges: a cool, almost metallic-clean rose meets smoky incense, resinous woods, and an earthy depth. It feels mystical, modern, and very self-confident.

Overall, the interplay seems a bit rough and not quite harmoniously balanced.

This one is definitely not a blind buy; very cucumbery in the opening, green, clean, and minimally leathery. I find it somewhat masculine and not sweet; it remains tart and recedes into a green skin scent.
