I love Agraria's Bitter Orange and Balsam and so had high hopes for this one. Perfection is not necessarily a good thing - causes envy amoung your peers and suggests an excessively unrelaxed attitude in life. Agraria saved themselves from those evils with Lemon Verbena. It has a very bright, fresh lemony opening that shows great promise. The promise fades quickly. Becomes harsh, then becomes dusty and almost stale. That's OK. I always have AG's Eau d'Hadrien and Carthusia's Mediterraneo to fall back on and it's nice to know someone at Agraria has been relaxing and spending time with their kids.
