Laundry detergent on steroids

Fruity, flowery, clean in a super aggressive chemical way. Like a beautiful woman with an obsessive cleaning compulsion trying to convince you that she doesn't have a problem. Enormous initial cloud that fills the whole room. My partner came home ~30 minutes after I did 1 spray of it and right out the door commented that our whole apartment smells like soap.

I wasn't able to discern one particular smell over all the others. It was all a giant headache inducing mush. I felt in my own body as if I was a guest in someone else's home. The squeaky clean and wealthy kind, where the owners act nice and friendly and insist you stay overnight after the gathering, but when push comes to shove forget to at least give you a blanket to sleep under :(
It was acting all nice and sweet, and yet I felt overwhelmed and unwelcome.

The upper notes evaporated in about ~2 hours and the experience became more bearable. Softer, more powdery, very... youthful. Too youthful, if I'm being honest. Rose and jasmine and baby powder. Like a little girl's first toy perfume kit. From there it took another 2 hours to slowly wither away without any further changes in flavor profile.

I know plenty of women who would love to wear something like this, but it's a polar opposite of everything I personally am (or am into). Hard no.
