Ultra Juicy

Is it Worth It?

Ultra Juicy is best suited for a quick trip to the grocery store and absolutely nothing more. It’s a casual fragrance that would work best in spring or fall days. Save this only for situations where you're not looking to make a lasting impression.

Scent Breakdown

Ultra Juicy opens with an intensely synthetic apple note, reminiscent of those cheap apple-scented cleaning supplies. The ginger is sharp, almost acrid, fighting for dominance with the bergamot. It vaguely gestures in the direction of the original Y, but the similarity ends there. The heart is a muddled green mess; the sage and juniper blend into a general herbal vagueness without any character. As it dries, the dreaded amberwood asserts itself – screechy, synthetic, and headache-inducing. The tonka bean attempts to provide some sweetness, but is ultimately overpowered by the cedar, which smells like pencil shavings and plastic.

Longevity & Projection

Longevity is about 3-4 hours on my skin. Projection is initially strong for the first hour, projecting beyond arms reach. But it quickly fades to a skin scent after that. I tested this during a cool autumn day while running errands.
