A very unusual, abstract, aldehydic citrus scent. Not tart and fresh like orange peel, not juicy-sweet like orange soda, but dry, aromatic, fizzy, and powdery, with a hint of bitterness from the gent...

Gentiana was created back in 2001� and for me it was love at first sniff. One of my HG perfumes! I was at a party (May 2001) and smelled that on a lady, I liked it so much I had to ask her what she...
