That took a while

That took a while… until Eau de Coton really revealed itself to me.

Barely had I written my statement, submitted the review, etc., when I caught a creamy, orange-tinged scent in my nose. I could swear it grinned at me. And a few hours later, I had a fine but also spicy wood note on my skin.

In summary, "Eau de Coton" is now for me a creamy fragrance that starts with fresh orange and ends with a spicy wood note. The cream is overshadowed by the orange note for as long as it lasts.

Sillage is medium, longevity is medium to long when I go with my nose directly over the sprayed skin.

The downside: This orange cleaner note, already mentioned in the statement, lingers in the top note for about half an hour.

I sorted out the sample. I don't like it. Maybe I'll give it another try after reading your reviews...

Sounds quite nice, though; maybe it's just a "late bloomer" with your skin.

Sounds good, but the orange note is now a question mark in my mind... I’ll read your statement right away, but your description still sounds tempting 🏆

It's definitely worth a try. Sure, the cleaning note isn't great, but the rest... 🙋‍♀️

That orange cleaner note bothered me too. The base is so great.

That's why it won't make it to my wish list...
