An olfactory odyssey
First Impression:
When I tried Demeter's "Laundromat" fragrance, I was expecting a journey into the world of fresh laundry. Instead, I found myself in an olfactory version of a BVB post-match - think spilt beer on old soccer shirts. The first notes reminded me less of freshly laundered sheets and more of a pub brawl, where the beer flows as freely as the fists.
About the fragrance notes:
Instead of clean linen freshness, I was hit with a wave of aromas more reminiscent of a well-attended post-game pub. The top notes were a bouquet of rubber tires and alcohol, while the middle notes seemed to be a strange mix of euphoria and despair - as if the fragrance itself had gone a few too many rounds with the fans. The base note? A hint of nausea, as if the fragrance itself had also missed the last goal.
The liability:
And then the adhesion! This fragrance clung to me like a drunken soccer mascot after the final whistle. No shower gel, no scrub, no soap - nothing could rid me of this olfactory hooligan.
Conclusion:
Interestingly, my experience seems to differ from other reviews, which report a fresher and more pleasant fragrance experience, suggesting that I may have received a different formulation of the fragrance, which could explain the discrepancy in perception, or that a special "Fan Edition" fragrance may have ended up in my bottle, designed to capture the olfactory nuances of a boisterous evening of soccer.
All in all, it can be said that the fragrance is more of a ticket to the emotional rollercoaster of a soccer match than the quiet comfort of a laundrette. For those looking for the thrill of a match day in a bottle - here you go. But those looking for the scent of fresh laundry should perhaps take a sniff in a different league.
