Disappointingly Imitative
My disappointment with this fragrance is particularly great, as I am actually a big fan of JHAG. The musky notes combined with Ambroxan or ISO-E-Super are for me like the salt and pepper in food - they enhance the natural body scent and give the perfume an individual touch. But then this supposed cuddle perfume comes around the corner, and I miss the usual creativity of the brand.
The name sounds promising: A fragrance for everyday life, a tribute to the bleakness of daily existence. However, what has been created here is not bad, but somehow it feels like a copy of a significantly cheaper fragrance. Jil Sander Softly immediately comes to mind. And please don’t get me wrong, I really like Softly. It radiates that effortless cleanliness and coziness, as if you were wearing a freshly washed T-shirt that slowly takes on the unique scent of your own body - a day at home, a Sunday indeed.
It makes me a little sad that JHAG didn’t try something completely different here. A scent of fresh laundry with cotton and cashmere is nice, but nothing that doesn’t already exist. And unfortunately, I don’t smell any of the announced star anise and sandalwood at all. The fragrance is nice, but I actually expect something original and exciting from JHAG - not just the umpteenth imitation of the term Clean.
