A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The Sicilian lemon arrives with a peculiar coolness, almost mentholated in its brightness, immediately accompanied by that aquatic haze that prevents any citrus-forward cheerfulness. Within two minutes, you're already aware this isn't a traditional citrus fragrance—it's something more conceptual, more about the *idea* of Mediterranean air than its sensory reality.
The cypress emerges with dry, almost dusty undertones, and here the composition becomes fascinatingly austere. The lemon hasn't faded so much as retreated inward, and the synthetic accords become more pronounced, creating a cool, almost aldehydic quality reminiscent of white musks and ozonic freshness. There's a faint soapiness here—not unpleasant, but undeniably present—that grounds the whole experience in cleanliness rather than seduction.
The amberwood finally steps forward with creamy, faintly powdery warmth, but it's whisper-thin, almost ghostly against the skin. The citrus has largely vanished, the cypress has become barely perceptible, and what remains is a soft, woody-aquatic skin scent that reads almost like fragrance memory rather than active fragrance. By the fifth hour, you'll need to lean in to smell it on yourself.
Light Blue pour Homme Summer Vibes is a fragrance that doesn't so much arrive as it dissolves into your skin like sea spray on warm limestone. Alberto Morillas has constructed something deliberately evanescent here—a scent built for transience rather than declaration. The Sicilian lemon that opens is neither the sharp, aldehydic assault nor the candy-bright rendition you might expect; instead, it's rendered almost translucent, as though filtered through coastal mist. This citrus carries a whisper of salt air, an aquatic undertone that prevents it from ever feeling cheerful or loud.
What makes this composition clever is how the cypress emerges not as an herbal counterpoint but as a drying agent, a grey-green whisper that pulls the lemon inward, making it introspective rather than exuberant. The woody-aquatic accord here reads less Mediterranean villa and more Nordic spa—clean in the way that bleached wood is clean, austere in the way Scandinavian minimalism is austere. There's a synthetic quality that some might read as soapy, others as ozonic restraint; it's the olfactory equivalent of overcast beach weather.
