By the editors · 2 min readBlow It Up plays at being a fruit cooler and then refuses to stay one. Pink grapefruit and blackcurrant arrive cold and tart, the kind of fizz you taste in the back of your throat. Rhubarb keeps the sourness honest; freesia thins it out into something almost watery and floral.
The drydown is where the cologne shape returns. Vetiver lays a dry, rooty floor; cedar adds a polished edge; soft musk smooths the seam where the fruit ends and the wood begins.
It reads young and irreverent — a daylight scent, sharp at the edges, that doesn't take itself seriously until the base shows up and quietly does.
