I've loved Clean Reserve for years, and generally get excited about new releases. Golden Citrus is a pleasant, sporty addition to the lineup, even if it is not my #1 favorite. I don't really smell golden or citrus notes so much as a strong hit of powdery orange blossom with an aquatic finish. I'm not an enormous orange blossom fan, but I don't hate it. This is a crisp, clean, non-sugary scent that could be worn to a conservative office, because it lingers very close to the body. You would need to put your nose right up to your skin to smell it, which is fine with me. I hate when selfish people walk around in giant noxious clouds of perfume. SO inconsiderate. Your scent should sit very close to your body! I'm excited to try other fragrances from this new water-based line. While it doesn't last all day, it lasts for a few hours, which is much longer than I would have expected.

Shu Uemura products are always excellent, and this cleansing oil is legendary for a reason---it makes easy work of removing a full face of makeup, as well as tough products, such as longwear liquid lipsticks. I personally can't stand the clammy feeling of makeup remover wipes, so when I need to take my makeup off, I reach for a cleansing oil as the first step in a double cleanse. It removes everything with a minimum of scrubbing, and is gentle on your skin. I have oily and acne prone skin, and this oil has not broken me out or given me trouble. I recommend applying it to your dry face with your hands, then adding water after that. -
