Recently at the Aalto Theater

My friend held a reading at the Aalto Theater and kindly invited me.
Yes, gladly!

Of course, I took my girlfriend with me.
We dressed up - for our standards - nicely, meaning an ironed T-shirt and wrinkle-free jeans - we reject anything else as bourgeois.

From my freshly ironed shirt wafts a special typical cotton scent that immediately makes me reach for Cotton as a counterpart.
My girlfriend agrees and also takes a spray.

But beneath the "cotton blanket," fruity components like peach and orange develop.
At this stage, the scent is uplifting.
The elegant turn appears with jasmine and the soft suede note, which elevates our casual outfit nicely.
A hint of woodiness gives Cotton substance.

In the theater, the scent remains close to the skin; we both perceive it favorably but are not distracted by the engaging reading.

Later, while having a glass of wine with the three of us, my friend praises the scent he perceives - and can't decide which of us smelled better.

We winked at each other, laughing - and left the question open.

Freshly Washed

Smells like cotton? Just to be sure, I held my nose up to various cotton clothes. To be honest?! I don't smell anything. Well, I do smell something, the laundry detergent and the fabric softener that were involved.

Does Cotton smell like a freshly washed T-shirt? Yes, you could say that. In any case, a luxury fabric softener was involved. And there's something else I smell here, a slightly bitter note. It must be a T-shirt from a freshly washed, oh that means a showered man. That must come from his shower gel.
The bitterness isn't really my thing, but the delicate peach balances it out so harmoniously that I find this scent absolutely heavenly.
The base is woody, soft, and warm. A real cuddle scent for the warmer months.
The longevity is surprisingly good for a splash.

Dear Sevda, you’ve sent me another hit here, thank you!

marc jacobs cotton

actually smells like cotton.
specifically like a fresh, fine, white t-shirt, possibly paired with well-fitting dark blue jeans - that’s the idea. additionally, there’s the citrusy freshness of the top note and the impression of a fresh, cool breeze after a summer storm. especially the wild leather note and the light woods are noticeable in the base. they remind me of a very soft, off-white suede.
in English, I would describe the scent as "crisp." it is unisex, but I find it perhaps a tad more feminine. it is easily wearable for both men and women.
what surprises with the marc jacobs splash here is its good sillage and longevity. a super versatile scent that simply makes you feel clean, fresh, and casual. I always carry it around in a travel spray.

Clean Cotton Laundry

This scent is a gentle, delicate nothing. Hardly graspable. Like a fresh breeze blowing in through the open window and out the door again. A lovely musk-lily of the valley. Synthetically pleasant. Clean to the max. Laundry associations on autopilot. The entire production process is encapsulated here. Laundry detergent (softly sweet floral scented), dry air, a hint of green meadow, moist ironing steam. And white cotton clothing that absorbs all these smells. A theme fragrance that is incredibly well executed. Just a bit too artificial for me in its ozonic direction. But with an engaging aura. Friendly, uncomplicated, well-groomed. There’s really not much more to say about it. Oh wait: It might be an ideal perfume for people who don’t like perfume. And please read the first and last paragraph of Rutil's review. They are so beautifully and accurately written. And also the other fitting reviews. They are all worth reading.

Note:

‘Cotton’ comes from the so-called Splash Collection (due to the 300ml splash bottles - with a screw-on spray mechanism, alongside the 100 ml spray bottles), a themed series that mainly focuses on individual scent notes or specific scent impressions, especially summery-fresh ones. This includes illustrious names like ‘Rain’, ‘Grass’, ‘Pear’, or ‘Cucumber’. Unfortunately, they have been discontinued for years. Although they were originally limited editions, the four most successful ones - including Cotton - were briefly re-released in 2016, I can’t imagine that something like this will happen again or that a similarly interesting series will be created, given the current brand policy of LVMH. Because by now there is no men’s fragrance left in the portfolio, and the women’s collection is exclusively reduced to the ‘Daisy’ and ‘Perfect’ lines.

Terry Discretion

Winds whip through the fresh laundry in the garden. You can hear the sheets fluttering. A white-tiled bathroom. Pure steam rises from the shower. Hard cotton terry dries the body. A clean T-shirt drapes over the shoulders. The window is opened. The coolness enters the room. Condensation beads down. A day begins…
One shouldn't expect too much, as Cotton is quite simply constructed. In the opening, the scent is fresh, almost aquatic and relatively masculine. Bergamot and mandarin are, in contrast to orange and peach, clearly recognizable and slightly tart, yet by no means aggressively citrusy. The lavender is almost continuously perceptible and adds a gentle spicy character to the composition. Jasmine, lily of the valley, and cotton are quite flat, barely noticeable, and generally, the cotton can at best be understood in a synthetic sense, hardly identifiable. Sandalwood and white woods stabilize without appearing rigid or angular, while musk and suede remain well-groomed in the background, resulting in a slow, woody, soft, and intimate finish. The interplay of all notes is quite harmonious, as they do justice to the impression of cotton in the scent. The longevity is moderate, but significantly worse compared to Rain and Cucumber; the sillage is mild.

Cotton is not a standout, not a loud fellow...rather a fragrance for quiet days, days without fuss, boring days. Functional restraint in the bottle. Simple, white, clean, and terry.
