Ramune

Definition of Refreshing

Definitely reminds of the sweetness and carbonation of the classic Ramune soda (original flavor). It also reminds me of the candy "Smarties". But I think that association lasts for about the first minute, and then slowly the lemon and bergamot overpower the other notes changing it into a cleaner like scent. This can also be a refreshing scent if you enjoy that kind of smell, but for me it can become headache inducing.

Unexpected

It's an inoffensive, clean, perfume. But, it doesn't smell anything like a Ramune - it's very floral.

Yummy!

Out of the bottle, it smells EXACTLY like ramune soda/candy. Upon application, the notes that stand out to me most are mint, raspberry, magnolia, and vanilla. After dry-down, it smells a bit more like American "Smarties" (if you are familiar with that candy) mixed with a bit of white florals, but it also does kind of give me "car shampoo" vibes. It smells good, don't get me wrong, but the staying power just isn't there for me. I would get a small bottle of this fragrance for the novelty of smelling like Ramune, but as a cologne/perfume, it's a solid 8/10 for me.
