Because simple is just simple.

It's not that simple! And I just don’t like Simply, that’s just how it is. So I’ll just say “Sorry” to the owners and fans of the fragrance, and really, I didn’t make it easy for myself. But I also don’t want to tear it apart just like that. That would be too easy.
Why don’t I like it? It just smells too healthy to me! At first, it’s okay, a bit of juicy melon sparkles through, and then a terribly healthy green note comes in, as if I’m mowing down my entire herb garden with a machete and then rolling around in it. That wouldn’t be so bad. But I’m overwhelmed by a strange anise-fennel-lemon balm note, even though that’s not supposed to be in there. Ah, it’s all not so simple. With Hiris, I also smelled carrots that weren’t there at all.
It’s all still somewhat nice if you like to smell like an oversized grasshopper.
The sharpest or maybe not the sharpest is this soy note. You’ve all smelled it before. It comes in sprouts, flour, milk substitutes, etc. And at this point, I see a gaunt, cachectic vegan in front of me, who has eaten nothing but sprouts and greens her whole life, and this has already seeped into her skin chemistry. Not only does she have rodent-like teeth, but she is also harmful to the fauna! Vegans eat all the greens away from the animals! There!
Vanilla doesn’t help, nor does the musk. I can’t get the smell of soybean sprouts off my skin, and I can’t get the images out of my head. I don’t want beans growing out of my ears....

I think it stinks. I'm not sorry that it's no longer available.

I had it many years ago too. Kind of medicinal, like a tea shop, sweet, unobtrusive, like a health food store or eco shoes - I gave it away half full - nothing I would really want to remember fondly.

Oh dear! Your distorted view of vegans is almost painful ;)

Whenever I'm on Parfumo, my stomach growls like crazy. Everything here is so culinary (hehe).

Hey... beans in the nose, or what? The scent is delicious!!! Especially in summer! So fresh, fluffy, cloud-like, clean. I have a red-haired friend with fair skin, and on her, the scent is to die for! *grumblingTrophyOut*

The simplest thing is, I'll just put a trophy in front of you and quietly slip away...

I've also heard others say they pick up on something anise-like here. I'm glad I don't :-) I really liked this milky-soft stuff :-)
