Soft it is

I had a bottle of this long time ago but forgot how it smelled. I received a sample and smelled it again. This is a lovely and soft smell. It opens fresh with the mandarin and bergamot in its topnotes, but the dry down gets warmer when the sandalwood sets in. The vanilla makes it slightly sweet, but not overwelming syrupy.
This is a nice casual smell on days when you dont need or want to be overly perfumed.

You don't get it for free in such large bottles...

...because this is not a perfume, but rather a body spray. You can douse yourself completely from head to toe after showering, spray your clothes with it, and still not be over-perfumed. Someone else won't notice this scent until they breach the personal space of the perfumed individual. It can be more than 30° C in the shade and it won't matter.
Therefore, I am surprised that I owned a 10-ml bottle of this as a teenager. I thought it was great (back then, I hadn't discovered my preference for oriental and sweet bombs yet) - and for this reason, I was very happy to encounter it again in the large bottle. I just had to have it. It's not expensive either.

Today, I at least don't find it bad.
B. Clean Soft starts fruity (but not really citrusy, sweet, or sharp), with a clear peach note and a slight spiciness from ginger. The heart is then floral, a bit powdery due to the iris, and quickly transitions into the woody base. Sandalwood is prominent, it remains powdery and becomes subtly sweet - that's the hint of fragrance that ultimately lingers.
I would have given it 70%, but I deduct 10% for the minimal sillage. And because I would like to experience the top and heart notes longer. Way too quickly, only a hint of a scent remains, but at least this hint is somewhat lasting.

Well. I'm not upset about having acquired this scent again - but I really don't need to do it again.
This is actually something for people who don't want to use perfume, so for men and women who really don't want to use perfume. It doesn't get more discreet than this.

EDIT: I just thought about which body lotion (I always apply lotion after showering and I definitely have 5 different body lotions and creams in the bathroom)... Cocoa butter from Garnier would be good. Or maybe coconut. Fruit, on the other hand, is boring.
