Woah! This is brave. and polarising I suspect. You have to like ozonic air and aldehydes for sure. Specifically Aldehyde C11, which has an incredible, fizzy, soapy, top note character to it, and it's evident in this perfume for sure. What I like about it is the fact that when you use small amounts of C11 it can still penetrate and easily be recognised and in fact is very easily overdone. To have a perfume where there's really nowhere to hide, it's not being added in traces to give citrus a little push (although this may have a citrus note also) or give some sparkle effect to a fruity accord or top note. This is a laid bare, green/blue ozone perfume which to me does represent a spectrum of primary colours, so in that way it's clearly quite clever. I'd never opt to pick something like this up if I had prior knowledge of what it was all about, well I wouldn't be drawn to it, put it that way. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I haven't worn it enough properly to experience how the musks behave in the latter phases and such but I think this perfume stands out.
REAL NOTES Top: Aldehydes, Pear Middle: Jasmin, Peony, Rose Base: Muscs, Ambroxan I love and I have many different kind of clean musky perfumes, soapy ones, aldehydes, “clean sheets” etc. This one is the first one which really smells like a laundry detergent - sniffed straight away from the bottle, not in the clothes after washing. Imo this is not powdery at all (accord mentioned here in Fragrantica) and aldehydes are very sharp like musk as well with Ambroxan. Musk is not soft like I have used to. Flowers here are supporting the concoction like in many these kind of scents, you barely smell them soaked in detergent. Pear is not noticeable, not even as a slight sweetness. Somehow this is anyway very addictive. I’m sniffing my wrist and wondering did I really washed my hand after spilling the detergent on it. After a couple of hours sharpness disappears and musk gets much softer. A strong fresh ozone note appears, like washed sheets drying on a string after the rain. Still it never gets powdery on my skin. Definitely this is not bad but you have to love strong aldehydes and the scent of laundry detergent. This review is based on a random sample.
