Freshly washed laundry on the run
My preference for clean, fresh fragrances is unmistakable in my collection. My current HG is Fleur de Peau, review to follow.
Valjues is a German niche fragrance brand from Cologne. All fragrances are vegan, genderless and produced by hand in Germany.
Tweelve was released in 2021, the heart notes are ISO-E-Super, fresh linen and cashmere and also jasmine and musk in the top and base notes. A dream from the data sheet.
Well-groomed, soft, delicate, slightly woody fragrance with a very faint H/S. A fragrance that vibrates gently on your skin and gives you a moment of relaxation, still damp linen curtains in the sun. I like freshly washed laundry fragrances, unfortunately I don't notice jasmine at all. In the dry down a certain similarity with Not a parfume or with the
Molecule 01 from Escentric Molecules.
Not too fresh for winter, but also fresh enough to wear in summer.
Personally I don't like wooden caps, they give me eco-meets-buckwheat organic vibe. A most definitely unisex or even slightly feminine ISO E super. Again, as with other molecule fragrances, every skin radiates the scent differently!
A fresh, quiet cleanliness, personally it still reminds me of AnOther 13 by Le Labo. Pure, soft and creamy, a bit like a second skin.
Not everyone knows the difference between detergent fragrance and fresh laundry fragrance: Detergent fragrance often smells sharp, synthetic and pungent, fresh laundry smells of comfort, softness and familiarity.
The preference for this scent stems from my childhood, addicted to this time capsule and moments from back then, moments that were carefree, enjoyable and full of life.
Since then, I have been searching for cleanliness, care, security and being at home, because emotions smell the strongest. In the brain, not on the skin. Nostalgia and synthetics are so close together here.
Fluffy, freshly showered, creamed, close to the body. Gentle and unobtrusive.
Pure, simple (but not simple or even banal), cuddly, comforting, radiant, well-groomed. Soft and carefree. Clean-fresh evergreen.
Cashmere and light musk used harmoniously, unfortunately without jasmine. Missed opportunity to lend uniqueness to the fragrance.
You could extend the shelf life a little with Molecule 1
Medium sillage, you have to spray 4-5 times. In my opinion, the short shelf life does not justify the price.

I hate you, I love you
It is complicated.
12 | Twelve is a fascinating fragrance that is both attractive and challenging in its complexity and changeability. The top note opens with a light freshness that is reminiscent of clean bed linen, like freshly laundered linen. Unfortunately, the laundry was washed with a detergent that I don't particularly like. I rather like the sharp aldehydes, like in Ariel, and not the White Giant. At this point, I don't particularly like 12 | Twelve.
However, the purity in this fragrance is quickly broken by floral, spicy and woody undertones that give the scent something appealing.
The heart note develops florally through jasmine, which, in combination with gentle citrus nuances, brings a touch of freshness and lightness. So while the fragrance is another fresh laundry scent at first, it takes an interesting turn in the heart with jasmine, cashmere and Iso E-Super. However, it doesn't become too woody, which is often the case with other fragrances in this category.
The base note is dominated by warm musk, which gives the fragrance a cozy feel, similar to snuggling up in soft, fragrant bed linen and I like that too, not always, but sometimes I feel like it.

"Still waters" are very deep and surprising
Yes, I have to say that this saying really applies here!!!
Here, the fragrance is usually described as quiet and the durability very weak.
For my part, I cannot confirm this.
I was just at a party and was told several times that this fragrance fills rooms. People came in from outside and immediately smelled this perfume on me.
The "Twelve" is really quiet at first when you spray it on. A fresh, light cleanliness spreads like a light veil. You have the feeling that you hardly notice it at first.
But this feeling is deceptive!!!
You are very perceptible to those around you.
I find it becomes increasingly woody in the drydown.
It then reminds me a little of AnOther 13 Eau de Parfum.
So the fragrance projects really well on my skin!!!
I am really impressed

Very nice for everyday use
I didn't have any great expectations of the perfume and so I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not really a fan of "clean girl" fragrances, but I really like this one.

12|Twelve is a very pleasant everyday fragrance that I think everyone will like. I can really only smell jasmine, fresh laundry and musk here.

Unfortunately, the longevity is not so good, after 3-4 hours I can already spray again and the sillage is not so great. This is more of a perfume that you wear for yourself to smell good and well-groomed and not to attract attention.

In itself it is very pleasant, but nothing special and therefore I wouldn't buy a bottle of it (especially since I don't find the bottles visually appealing)

Freshly washed laundry
The way the fragrance has been described (see above) is 12 good. Yes, I also get the smell of freshly washed laundry and "cleanliness". I don't really like freshly washed laundry fragrances, they are often far too strong, too penetrating and too synthetic for me. This fragrance here also smells synthetic, but not as penetrating. Nevertheless, the fragrance is quite strong. I have noticed that it is too much for me when I spray it in my hair. Somehow a fresh-laundry scent in the hair doesn't fit, but I had to try it out first. It goes well under my clothes and a little bit on my clothes, but it "mustn't" get too much up my nose, so I spray it further away from my nose, e.g. not on my neck. So if you like fresh underwear perfumes and just want to smell clean and well-groomed, go for it. I sometimes feel like it, especially now that spring is slowly approaching. I was able to buy a bottle with 2 discounts. I probably wouldn't have bought it at the normal price as I already have a similar fragrance from the brand. Unfortunately, I don't notice any jasmine in the EdP, which I think is a shame, but the fragrance does have a slightly floral character, just quite synthetic. I smell minimal woody notes. The fragrance gains softness and depth after a while. It doesn't undergo any major development, but that doesn't bother me with this kind of fragrance.
Now for the negative, which has nothing to do with the fragrance. The bottle itself is beautiful, with its wooden lid, but the atomizer is one of the worst I've ever had in a perfume. For the price, I would have expected better quality. The paper sticker is pretty, but makes waves. It looks a bit "cheap". I don't think it's that bad, but it's not great either. One more comment: the fragrance liquid is quite greasy and leaves a long-lasting shine on my skin.
