or Sex in the Sauna...
It is immediately clear that I want to convey a rather contradictory impression here. This arises in my perception from an indefinable cool side and a sensual, skin-like one on the other.
What "groundwater" and "limestone" are ultimately supposed to be eludes any understanding; it could just as well be called lime water and base stone...
The first impression is that of a delicately waxy muted freshness, which I do not perceive as citrusy or herbaceous, but rather radiates a floral coolness for me, white flowers, but very subtly applied. Overall, the scent seems to me rather veiled, glazed, built up from several more or less translucent layers.
Isn't it in baths or saunas where scents of cleanliness, hygiene, and freshness mix with those of moisture, skin, and remnants of all sorts?
Shower gels, infusions, soft-washed terry towels.
Wet bodies, heated skin, and rubber slippers.
And a whole chaos of commercially available products of all kinds, some for cleaning, some for keeping clean, and some for making dirty.
Since keeping clean doesn't always work perfectly, one can occasionally detect a slightly moldy moisture, which is, however, overshadowed by the many other scents of this place. I am lounging in the water, looking at the Art Nouveau mosaic of my bathhouse, and letting myself, as they say in a kitschy way, "drift." Soon, a metallic note emerges in this scent that really makes me think of blood. The bathhouse - scene of a crime?
I try to remain serious :)
In any case, this perfume wants to be more than it can hold.
If worn in a bathhouse or similar, before or after, it will certainly become absolutely "invisible" and completely fade into its background.
Otherwise, it should be suitable for daytime wear; as an evening scent, in my opinion, it is rather less so or not at all.
It is best suited if you want to write a crime story. Title: "Blood in the Bathhouse"

etc. etc....
The guys from the Navy smell like seawater, the gentlemen from the Air Force smell like aftershave, and the men from the Army smell like "groundwater"-that's what comes to mind ;)
