This is a clean, bright, and airy citrus-floral that's perfect for summer. It's not groundbreaking but delivers a beautiful, inoffensive scent, though many find its longevity a let-down.

Our Verdict - Shaft of Light Eau de Parfum

This is a clean, bright citrus floral that's either a ray of sunshine or glorified dish soap, depending on who you ask. If you're after a subtle, uplifting scent for quiet moments, this will hit the mark, but don't expect it to scream for attention.
