Striking
6.2Rich Mess · 2022
Fresh · Floral · Aquatic
Rich Mess Striking is a unisex fragrance that pairs guava, watermelon and pink pepper with jasmine and ginger, giving a fresh, fruity scent with a floral, aquatic character.
The top notes are an electro-statical accord, metallic notes, guava, pink pepper and watermelon, so the first impression is cool, juicy and slightly synthetic. In the heart, jasmine, ginger and sage add a floral, green touch, with the spice kept light. The base of amber, petrichor and Terminalia elliptica settles it into something sweeter, oriental and powdery.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though few people have voted, so treat that loosely. The fresh, fruity build suits everyday wear and reads comfortably on anyone. Rasasi Hawas Fire and Kilian Beyond Love Prohibited have a close profile.
