Your cat's petty grudge in perfume form
The initial cloud is gigantic and, for a lack of a better word, oppressive. For the first few hours you will be able to smell the wearer before you enter the room and see them. Very straightforward, just as synthetic. Rose flavored shower gel, but dialed up to eleven. Still, at this point it's not too bad. Just meh.
But don't worry, it gets worse. After the first ~2 hours woodiness starts peeking through from underneath the rose veil. It's subtle at first, slowly transforming the rose shower gel into rose air freshener. Not great, not terrible.
Around the ~3rd hour mark sillage becomes a bit softer – it still envelops the wearer in a cloud, but only becomes apparent an arm's-length away from them. Meanwhile, as rose mellows out, the overall scent continues getting worse. It's faint at first. Something is wrong, but it's hard to put the feeling into words. You are ~4 hours in.
As rose continues mixing in with the wood, the unpleasant undertone becomes more apparent. A lightbulb moment happens about ~5 hours in. Cat piss. Aggressive artificial rose flavor still hides it quite well, but it's now undeniable. Somewhere in a corner where you usually wouldn't think to look – a cat flavored puddle is seeping into the floorboards.
The soaked floorboards flavor becomes more and more apparent as time goes on. Around ~6 hours in it becomes the main note, pushing rose to the sidelines. Luckily, around the same time it finally settles close to the skin. ~7 hours in – it's the only thing you can think of when you accidentally put your hands too close to your face.
I scrubbed it off in a shower and breathed out a sigh of relief ~8 hours in. Will probably avoid Lancôme for a while after this.
