Millennial aquatic-floral-woody effect with some twists
Might feel "not-so-special" at retail price, but as a blend I think it's very nice and the "coolness" and watery effect is successfully achieved by calone-citrus-iris-mint for the bigger part of the evaporation, no nose-raping woody ambers but instead a mellow fruity-floral-woody unisex drydown.Delivers the marketing promise (coolness, jeans & white tee, anytime/anywhere, laid back).
Top:
At the very first spray the Calone/Cascalone/Scentenal hit my face with that marine and egg whitey olfactory mass, but the next second your nose adjusts and in few minutes this scent turns into what I can only call as a "potential future summer cheapie" that smells quite nice with undistinguishable citric top notes. I liked the fact that it doesn't abuse you with nuclear woody ambers and I'm a strong believer the last decades amber-wood overdose trend will die out soon and men's fragrances will do a flashback to millennial era.
Mid:
So here the transformation goes in the direction of iris, though not listed in the notes but you'll notice this carrot seed, musty iris rhizome effect that provides a peculiar coolness which fits the marketing story of this perfume especially when combined with the obvious menthol freshness. I surely get a slight non-gourmandy, more-fruity/floral sweetness which I can only assume violet/pear notes (ionones and esters) in combination with muguet/cyclamen type transparent fresh and watery sweet florals (hello 2000s) and also popular in laundry detergents forever. I think I get the vetiver here too but really not distinct.
Base:
After 20 hours on test strip the scent is more floral-sweet (clean fresh laundry muguet/cyclamen and violets), honeyed orange blossom, even lavender, almost feminine/unisex, right out of 90s-00s, will feel familiar to those perfume heads since 90s. The effect of woods must be there but honestly I can't "pick out" individually the sandalwood or vetiver again but it doesn't mean they don't play an important role in the effect overall.
