I don't even know where to start with this fragrance...
It's been "haunting" me for a while. I've been watching some perfume Youtubers for years and
Clean Reserve - Skin [Reserve Blend] Eau de Parfum kept popping up in videos over and over again. Each time I thought I might like the fragrance based on the reviews.
Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to test the brand's perfumes near me. Sure, I could have bought a bottle here... But somehow I never did. ️
Then Black Friday came last year and I had a voucher in the online store of my favorite niche perfumery. So I ordered
Clean Reserve - Skin [Reserve Blend] Eau de Parfum blind. Directly the 100ml bottle. Risky. Yes!
I was so happy when the package with the fragrance arrived.
First of all: I absolutely love the look/bottle. Clean and unagitated. Just the way I like it.
Then, of course, I sprayed it. First of all: disillusionment and confusion. Was this how I had imagined the fragrance? I wasn't sure if I liked the scent. But I wanted to like it so much.
So I gave the fragrance and myself time. I wore it for a few days in a row.
I can't say exactly what happened next. But I've been wearing
Clean Reserve - Skin [Reserve Blend] Eau de Parfum really often ever since. I reach for the bottle again and again. Often even in between just to sniff it. I would say that I'm even a bit addicted to it now.
The fragrance is incredibly soft, cuddly and pleasant. A feel-good fragrance without equal. This salty caramel note comes out very well on my skin.
In terms of longevity and sillage, I can say that it lasts a good 6 hours on me, and even a little longer on clothing. The sillage is rather close to the skin, as the name suggests. You are definitely only surrounded by a light cloud of fragrance. A few more sprays are fine. Because it certainly doesn't bother anyone.
You can wear
Clean Reserve - Skin [Reserve Blend] Eau de Parfum all year round. A great, great everyday fragrance.
I am now very happy to have bought it. I don't have a comparable fragrance in my collection, so it's definitely an enrichment for me.
My personal conclusion: I have now made the experience that there are definitely perfumes that you have to give a second and third chance and that you can end up loving like crazy.
