Our verdict on Ofresia: Favourite

This is a divisive one. For some, it's a photorealistic, fresh freesia dream with a peppery kick; for others, it's a 'rotting lily' or 'bug spray' nightmare. Absolutely try before you buy, it smells wildly different on skin.

About

Opening with a sharp, green burst, Ofresia quickly unfolds into a natural, dewy freesia heart. Some detect a pronounced black pepper note adding a zesty, almost effervescent quality, while others find it a soft, clean floral, reminiscent of freshly cut stems and the greenness of a flower shop. The drydown settles into a subtle woody base, grounding the vibrant floral without losing its airy charm.
