I find it kind of alluring too. On me, it has a bit of a fresh-laundry vibe. I’d love it in a dab-on version, since even one spray is a little too intense for me.
Oh, I don’t know Caron. But since Caron makes some lovely fragrances, I’m sure this one is beautiful too.
My small decant of Aldebaran is enough for me as well.
What people call the “fresh laundry” note here is the aquatic fragrance ingredient Cascalone or Calone. Until recently, I found it smelled like stagnant water. But I don’t want laundry to smell of detergent. That means you’ve either used too much detergent or the machine hasn’t rinsed it properly. In that case, I have to run an extra rinse cycle. So I don’t associate that smell with this perfume note. I still won’t consider buying this fragrance, though-I have Caron Tubéreuse Extrait, and that’s enough, don’t you think?
