While this doesn’t light any major olfactory fires for me as other fragrances have this week, gosh, it’s an easy wear that’s very pleasant indeed. There is an un-sugary sweetness set in an aquatic and light base and I’m guessing it comes from the orris which works very nicely with the sharp juiciness provided by cedrat. I literally have no idea what fresh lotus leaves smell like – I can’t even guess – but if you do you may be able to pick it out as it’s listed as a key note.
In terms of floral, there’s anemone to add a whisp of flowers and cedar is your grounding note. What’s surprising about MAC Turquatic is how it really doesn’t lean to any gender – it’s probably the most gender neutral fragrance I’ve smelled to date and will be delicious no matter who wears it. It’s not a shouty fragrance, it’s one of those that sits with a quiet presence that’s rather charming. There used to be a roller ball version of this and I don’t know whether it’s available in store (not on line currently) but it would certainly be a more affordable way to try it. As it is, the full size is £45 HERE, and the bottle is just beautiful. I’d be happy to see that every day.
