Tuberose, Melon, and Mandarin

This is menage is all about the mandarin. Upon arrival, the mandarin shrieks wanting to make its presence known. Reminds me somewhat of Carnal. Later on the melon hesitantly peeks out from the heavy mandarin layers.  The emphasis here is still on the mandarin and the melon (no sign of the tuberose) is giving it a modest round twang. I still feel there's too much mandarin here and not enough of the other two notes. Later on the mandarin goes powdery and bit sour and is further backed by a faint melon note.

This one mad me feel giddy upon smelling in the decant. Mellow melon with an almost fizzy mandarin over the top. It smells like summer as a kid, so carefree. On my skin it's less fizzy, but the balance is similar. The tuberose is starting to give some light headiness but is very much in the background, it just makes the scent slightly more grown up, along with a slight bitterness from the orange. Grown up but still fun. Delightful summer blend.
