Coleslaw as perfume deodorant

Eau Svelte came to me a few months ago. My grandmother had probably bought it then, half emptied it and forgotten about it. I tested the relic a few times
At the spray head sun cream just came into my mind again. As sun cream scents I know Le Bain from Joop and Musc Blanc from Les Senteurs Gourmandes; both have lily of the valley and musk in common. After spraying it on, it becomes fresh, creamy, herbaceous. A tart, penetrating note emerges, guaranteed by age. Reminiscent of bad breath and leather. Fortunately, this note soon disappears. The impression of white-flowered flowers is intensified, and Svelte becomes a bit more fruity. Unfortunately the same unrecognizable fruity sweetness as Bruno Banani's or Harry Lehmann's Acajou, which I recently tested. For an aged "Perfumed Spray Deodorant" the shelf life is good. The projection certainly never went too close to the body.

Light, Fresh, Uplifting Team Player

This is a clean office/daytime appropriate scent I have enjoyed off and on since it came on the scene in the mid-90s. It is a dry floral-citrus wood scent without even a hint of sweetness, but with a very little bit of clean muskiness in the base. It has a very fresh, sheer citrusy top with what I believe is some bergamot and mandarin notes, a sweep of airy floral and a cedar dust on the base almost approaching that pencil shaving note, but stopping short of that hamster cage accord. It smells great on a Man or a woman and apparently has some firming or skin toning properties, which, well, there is only so much credence I can lend from my personal experience. Let's get back to the scent, itself. It's a very soft citrus unfolding into a bit of powdery rose and hyacinth perhaps a lily-of-the valley that is floating down the gentle river on a handmade but sturdy wooden raft of freshly lumbered raw undertreated wood. This scent will work in conjunction with an early morning double espresso corporate meeting and it will mellow out by lunch to a barely perceptible calm collected woody base skin scent of someone who is living right and is vaguely attractive, even though these thoughts are frowned upon by HR. It will definitely help in demonstrating your ability to remain fresh and solid under hostile mergers and impervious to the petty background chatter of pink slips and inter-office scandals. If nothing else, it demonstrates good grooming, level-headedness and a positive attitude and maybe that is enough to get your name thrown-in-the-hat for that big promotion.
