Soapy nightmare
When the postman rang the doorbell, I ran to open the door in excitement. But. From 6 feet away - I have a gate at that distance from the main entrance door - I could smell the perfume. I knew immediately that the bottle inside the package he was delivering got broken in transport. I could even see the stains caused by the liquid which had soacked it through.
It was then that my realisation had me happy of what had happened. SOAP. A sharp, distinctive scent reminding of those mini soap bars given in luxury hotel in the 80s - for anyone who is old enough to have been a traveller at that time.
So I collected the package and went outside in the backyard - yes, this scent was so strong that I had to open the box away from any room. Its intensity was suffocating - this is a clingy fragrance, really heavy so beware! Sadly, it smells like liquid soap - beastly strong, so absolutely not office / dinner safe. You'd be hated wearing it in restaurants of working places because it is a monster for projection.
I cannot detect anything else, just a soapish note, and cannot understand where from people in other reviews could find flowery or fruity notes. There's not a single hint of them which one could recognise, so either some around here are used to random cacophonies of notes, or they are completely anosmic. Honestly, this is pure soap!
Galbanum is the only note which can be perceived, overbearingly so. Thus, though I can agree about the quality of ingredients, I cannot agree with anything which has been said before. This, ladies, smells of soap, plain and main.
Forget the notes you can see listed here, and buy a tester if you can, to avoid huge disappointment.
Big no from me!
