“Patrice Martin Fly Above The Sky Review: Citrus and Green Cannabis”

The first spray of Fly Above The Sky hits with an energetic burst of bitter pomelo rind. A dry thread of palo santo wood runs beneath the sharp citrus, backed by a touch of crushed spice. Rather than leaning sweet or overly juicy, the opening stays tart and distinctly herbal right out of the atomizer. It sets an airy botanical tone that feels fresh without relying on synthetic aquatic molecules.

Bright pomelo top notes soften within twenty minutes of initial application. Soon after, steeped green tea leaves provide a soothing, leafy backdrop for a crisp cannabis note. This herbal middle phase feels raw, dry, and distinctly green. Earthy vetiver and cedar wood anchor the base, giving the dry-down a clean wooden grounding on skin that persists throughout the early afternoon.

On warm skin, the scent moves smoothly from vibrant citrus freshness to a quiet botanical aura. The aromatic and herbal accords dominate the mid-development, preventing the composition from turning flat or muddy. Palo santo functions as a light wooden structure that supports the bitter green tea and herbal notes as they settle, keeping the overall blend feeling refined and natural.

Performance sits firmly in the moderate tier on most skin types. You can expect roughly four to six hours of total wear, with projection extending to arm's length during the first hour of application. It pulls back to an intimate skin scent by the third hour. This polite volume makes it especially suitable for humid summer afternoons, warm spring mornings, or quiet office spaces where heavy projection feels intrusive.

The unisex balance sits right in the middle of the spectrum. It appeals equally to anyone who prefers bitter, garden-fresh profiles over sugary florals or heavy amber notes. Enthusiasts of unconventional green scents will enjoy the contrast between zesty pomelo citrus and dry botanical leaves. If you gravitate toward outdoor fragrances that feel casual, this bottle fits effortlessly into a sunny daytime routine.

While the fleeting pomelo top note fades quicker than I would prefer, the dry-down remains satisfying and distinctly refreshing. Patrice Martin created a balanced woody aromatic that avoids generic commercial tropes. I recommend ordering a sample decant first to test how the herbal cannabis note develops on your skin before committing to a full bottle.
