Got it!
Catch Me is the one perfume outside of the Alien family I've smelled that actually resembles them a lot. Ropion seems to be building on his past work with this perfume, but doesn't quite achieve what has made the various Aliens memorable. It isn't the blast of jasmine, orange blossom or citrus in the opening alone: it is the mellow woody amber drydown that balances the fanfare, and the comparative simplicity of the accords involved.
Catch Me is nice, and I love the fresh, very well balanced citrus-white floral opening blast. But something about it feels off, something soapy creeps in about 20 minutes into the development, and I am surprised there is no musk listed in the notes. The sweet almonds don't quite counteract the soapiness, and as a whole the fragrance is a cute, girlish, more wearable Alien light that works in its own way. But soapy is one thing I find hard to overlook. Cute bottle, though!
