Prescriptives Calyx Reviews
Fragrantica - "The first hour of Calyx on me is volumptuous. Fleshy, sexy. Then it settles down and buttons its blouse. Once the fruit recedes somewhat and the scent integrates itself, it becomes that rare thing: both fresh and rich."
Fragrantica - "This is such "Happy", cheerful fragrance. Absolutely unpretentious. The freshness of grapefruit without being sour or sharp. Tropical, but not fruitpunch-like. And just enough warmth so that it's not an "eau fraiche". Long-lasting."
Fragrantica - "This is certainly not a scent I expected to love but I was very pleasantly surprised! To me it reads as: Grapefruit, guava, green leaves and rose, in order of intensity. This sweet/sour/bitter accord quenches a thirst I didn't even know I had. I wear mostly heavy, darker, smoky frags and this is the perfect antidote to all that. Smelling Calyx is like taking off your glasses, stepping away from the computer, and going for a walk outside in the fresh spring air."
