One of the best cotton fragrances
If you like clean, cottony scents - like some of Clean Reserve - and Byredo Blanche is too expensive for you, you can still look to find the remaining stocks of Cotton.
Marc Jacobs created the Splash Collection in 2006 and has released over 25 fragrances over the years, including Apple, Biscotti, Cocktail Curacao, Autumn Amber, Pear, Rain, Fig and more. He relaunched the most successful fragrances - including Cotton - in 2016.
The nose behind Steven Claisse - a fragrance that evokes purity, tranquillity and sun-dried sheets. The special thing about this fragrance is its fruity beginning. Many clean fragrances run the risk of smelling too synthetic, too dry or too musky, sometimes even really pungent. With peach, bergamot, mandarin and orange, this is a unique composition from the aldehydic, clean, pure fragrance family. Lavender and lily of the valley perfect the heart note, while white leather provides an interesting twist in the base note.
A feather-light, airy, spring-fresh fragrance. With a delicate powdery finish.
If you want to smell clean, well-groomed, unisex and pure, this is your fragrance.
I have owned over 10 fragrances in this family and consider this to be one of the best, if not the best fragrance to date. Cozy. That's how my favorite white shirt used to smell. The impression of a fresh, cool breeze after a summer storm.
Cotton fragrances often smell either artificially mixed with flowers or like dryer sheets. Sometimes too powdery. This one sums up the scent of freshly washed cotton with a little warmth in an orchard.
A good choice even for people who don't like classic fragrances. Fruity fresh cotton in the early mountain air. Crisp in English. Suitable for all occasions, but would not be my first choice for a date or candlelight dinner. What is surprising here is its good sillage and longevity. Great all-rounder that just makes you smell clean, fresh and casual.

Terry Discretion
Winds whip through the fresh laundry in the garden. You can hear the sheets fluttering. A white tiled bathroom. Pure steam is pouring out of the shower. Hard cotton terry dries the body. A clean T-shirt lies over your shoulders. The window opens. The coolness enters the room. Condensation drips down. A day begins...
You shouldn't expect too much, because Cotton is quite simple knitted. In the beginning, the fragrance is fresh, almost aquatic and relatively masculine. Bergamot and mandarin, unlike orange and peach, are easily recognizable and slightly tart but by no means penetratingly citric. The lavender can be heard almost throughout and adds a gentle spicy character to the composition. Jasmine, lilies of the valley and cotton are quite flat, hardly noticeable and in general cotton can only be understood in a synthetic sense, at best it can hardly be determined. Sandalwood and white woods stabilize without appearing rigid and angular, musk and suede are kept in the background and so the slow finish is woody, soft and close to the skin. The interplay of all notes is quite harmonious, because they may do justice to the idea of cotton in the fragrance impression. The shelf life is moderate, but in contrast to Rain and Cucumber much worse; the sillage is mild.

Cotton is not a high-flyer, not a loud companion...rather a perfume for quiet days, days without sensation, boring days. Functional restraint in the bottle. Plain, white, clean and rubbed.
