Very helpful Review 10

a clear head ...

... after a restless night.

My husband had nasty back pain and tossed and turned in bed like a propeller, which made me sway too - like on the high seas.
Today my head is buzzing - and I also have to make sure not to "burden" my ailing spouse with an overwhelming scent.

I can always score points with him using clear, Asian fragrances.
Good thing a dear friend sent me a sample, as this is the scent of choice.
A transparent, tidy fragrance that sorts thoughts and gently caresses the senses.

Bamboo appears softly green - enveloped by cool, transparent watermelon.
Soft and mild, invigorating like a rain shower.
The tea note creates calm - refreshed by mint.
The rose cautiously adds a citrusy touch, and also has a relaxing effect.
The crystal musk seems light and bright - emphasizing the fragrance's ease.

A scent that embodies the Buddhist concept of "letting go" - and I feel relieved.

Your description makes me curious; it sounds like another lovely summer fragrance to me.

I have to qualify my statement in that I had a sample that was nearly empty, and I’m not sure if the scent might have been old. I don’t really think so, but that’s why I didn’t write a harsh critique. Mint and aquatic scents aren’t really my thing anyway.

Haha, I knew it! If First doesn't like it, then it's not for me either... we’re definitely on the same wavelength when it comes to scents ;-D No need to test it *g*

It's interesting how differently people can perceive scents. The opening note gave me the impression that someone had lost control of their bladder ;-). Seriously though, I just found it urine-like, yuck, with a hint of toothpaste mint over shower gel mist.

The comment is doubly helpful (but I can only click once, sorry) because you like it and Blauemaus does too, so: It's not for me ;-D Thanks!

Matsushima fragrances are just too "elegantly synthetic-minimalistic" for me.
