Peppery citrus
Posted by Sasha on 3rd Feb 2022
Lots of assorted citrusy notes, quite bitter, like grapefruit, lemon, with prominent pepper, and woody incense background. Sharp citrusy notes are well balanced with pepper, wood, later some clove appears with slight floral note mellowing it all down.

Gershwin

Sweet orange, soft sandalwood incense and a sharp black pepper. I like Exultat more for a sweeter, more complex incense & citrus blend, but this one is still lovely.

What I love about all of Maria’s perfumes is that they present a form of storytelling through the sense of smell. This perfume, although not a scent I might wear day-to-day, is a great example of this. It’s an experience in a bottle, and its fun to imagine what setting or person this smell might belong to.
Considering the namesake of this perfume, this is what I imagine while wearing it: a smoky little club that plays Gershwin’s early hits is painted by Sunday morning. Red sunlight streams through the murky windows, and a solitary figure is cleaning the wood floors and bar with a rather pungent, citrusy wax. Echoes of the previous night’s merrymaking remain, not yet dissipated by the new day. After his work is complete, the man sits alone in the pews of a church and is enveloped by soft incense and a silent calm.
This perfume is very meditative and soothing, and I suppose that’s why it reminds me of those early hours in the morning when you’re alone with your thoughts, before the rest of the world has risen from its slumber.

very subtle fragrance, not sweet smelling either.

Amazing!

This scent is crisp, light, wearable and unique. I cannot get enough of it. Though the nose is definitely characterized by citrus it is not sweet or sharp rather uplifting and sophisticated. The pink pepper corn really ties all the notes together very nicely and the lingering scent of sandalwood and incense are modernized by the presence of clove. I am totally in love!
