In an attempt to get around to using more of the samples I had waiting at home, I decided (ill-adviced) to spray 8 Prin Lomros fragrances on skin all at once (I do have a lot of skin) and make shorter reviews for them.
To my nose, Oliver felt like a slightly more traditionally masculine leaning variant of Yuzu Soda for a while. You get a lot of the similar smelling green-leaning sparkling citrus. But whereas Yuzu Soda feels more straight-forward, Oliver goes in an aquatic, sea breeze direction on my skin. It also lets the citrus come through in more orange hues (mandarin specificially stands out for me). You can picture the mojito vibes here, albeit not as boozy (not even versus a Guerlain Homme EDP for example).
This would be a fragrance that would be perfect for my office rotation if I had a bottle (it smells somewhat similar to Parfumerie articuliere Blue Mandarine). A lovely classy and refreshing scent, that I personally prefer over Yuzu Soda. Still not my favorite fresher Strangers, which would be Salted Green Mango, but that’s a lot more different than it is alike. Yet, this is one of my favorites from the house.
