Hairspray in the Form of a Pretty Bottle

Yes, I actually think the bottle is quite nice. And I really like Michael Michalsky. A quirky, likeable person, as far as an outsider can judge. I had so hoped that this fragrance would immediately captivate me. I had so hoped it would be love at first sniff.

What a letdown! Right after the first spray (a spritz on the clothing), I was hit by a note that I would most closely associate with hairspray. But straight to the point, no beating around the bush. Bam! My first thought: "Who on earth wants to drag a penetrating cloud of hairspray behind them?"

I can't quite define what exactly I'm smelling here. A look at the fragrance pyramid doesn't clarify anything for me. Where's the mandarin? At least that could have given the top note some fruitiness and something pleasantly feminine! I vaguely sense the flowers in the heart, but the interplay seems to me personally not particularly well thought out. After all, with every further attempt, I primarily catch a whiff of that rather unpleasant hairspray I just mentioned.

At this point, I assume that the fragrance will mellow in the base and perhaps reveal a bit of its delicate nature. However, I'm still waiting for that.

It's often like that, mainstream, good (hit me winter), if only it were high quality - oh man! I feel that way often!

I found it terrible on the first try. After some time, I gave it another shot and lo and behold: I like it now. Maybe it just needs a few tries.
