How Not To Name A Perfume
Note to perfumers: please do not name your creations in ways that immediately evoke visions of an organic chemistry laboratory! Ineke CHEMICAL BONDING would be an example to avoid. In fact, the composition is much better than the name would seem to suggest to those of us who have tested way too many of the sickeningly synthetic fragrances on the market today. To be perfectly frank (quoi d'autre?), I actually do not understand and am indeed mystified by the weird “molecule” trend in avant-garde perfumery, with single synthetic notes being poured into bottles and sold as perfume at niche prices. Hello? Does this make any sense whatsoever? Why not just go to a chemical supply shop and buy yourself a bottle of the “special molecule” for a tiny fraction of the cost? But I digress...

CHEMICAL BONDING is another masculine-leaning composition by this house—along the lines of FIELD NOTES FROM PARIS, and I find it about as appealing. I wouldn't mind smelling it on someone else, but it's not something that I would go out of my way to acquire. Nor is it something that I'd go out of my way to wear, if I happened to have a bottle. To me, CHEMICAL BONDING seems like a generic men's citrus cologne which falls just this side of the natural/synthetic divide. Vetiver, citrus, light florality...you know the drill.

Ironing and Laundromat
the perfume smells exactly as its name suggests. A sour citrus laundry note that immediately makes me think of ironing or something similar. There’s a bit of amber and musk as well, but the sour overall impression remains. It really smells like chemicals.

For everyone who likes to smell fresh, creamy, elegant, and a bit more subtle, I recommend this.

In front of you is a pot of fruit tea, and the scents from the garden are wafting in through the window. I don't think it's that chemical at all.

A fresh peony/rose scent, more common in the mainstream, but pleasant to wear and long-lasting close to the skin!

Dreamy citrus opening for 10 min, then comes the laundry detergent... Help!

Reminds me of grainy lemon tea from a can. Beautifully refreshing. Great for warm days. A refined scent that doesn't bother anyone!

Starts fresh and aquatic, unisex - clean bear scent; then becomes unpleasantly unbalanced, but freshens up again. Nice, but not a must-have.
