You're not the first person who's said they smell a burnt rubber in VoA, which is interesting to me. I get a bit of rubber for sure, but much more of the bright citrus notes. Funny how different noses work!

It's definitely interesting. To me, the rubber note in VoA is like skid marks on a race track from slamming the brakes, drifting, etc. The citrus note is definitely prominent, just usually more drowned out by the harsher scent notes for me. So my nose doesn't even reliably work the same every time! ๐Ÿ˜‚
