The negative comments on here are often focused on something I love about it, such as the way it evokes fresh laundry or soap. It's not any old laundry or soap, it's that breathtakingly fresh waft you get for a split second that you wish could last, and now it can, all day in fact. Or the strong blast of aldehydes in the opening... it's spellbinding, albeit not unique (MFK has several variations on this theme with negligible differences). It's a paradox, as it's the least challenging fragrance in my collection, but manages to be magical to my nose, and is more than the sum of its notes. It is very, very strong, which I itself can be a challenge. I find it charming, effervescent and flirtatious, but with a sharp edge, an ever so subtle metallic sheen that makes all the difference. The drydown is the best part by far and away. Update - wait for super hot weather, then let it thrive ;) Another update - I've worn this hundreds of times now, and it's truly underrated in my opinion. The only difficulty is the strength. It's nuclear and you have to be careful. But in the summer it becomes my signature for days on end whenever the heat and humidity stop me wearing my usual heavy, oudy, ambery cloaks. There is a woody amber scratch underneath, as with most MFK freshies, but it's only perceptible when you shove your nose right in, and it doesn't stop me loving it. The jasmine is just indolic enough to make it smelling, and this with the exquisite bergamot note puts this in a league of its own for the genre.
A BRIGHT sparkling aldehydic white floral. There is a very subtle green freshness too. Musky, soapy, and a little powdery, this is what I describe to people as super expensive fresh sheets.
It's potent, so the sheets will be with you all day!
