Somehow neutral floral/sweet/fresh

I realized after wearing this to bed a few nights that it reminds me of a shoe store I go to frequently - one of those sprawling not-quite-discount places where all the old folks shop.

It's a sweet and bold floral that's just adjacent to whatever was in all of the men's cologne that teenage boys liked to wear in the 90s - it's fresh like CK One but has more depth. I can't decide if the shoe store connection is from some kind of spray they use for dusting, carpet deodorizer, or if it's just that someone who works there wears this perfume (which is unlikely) - it's kind of a vague, pleasant neutral background/bedtime scent that I don't think I'd choose to wear out.

It appears that it's been discontinued by Phlur, and I'm on the fence about whether to go ahead and get a discounted bottle or just say oh well and move on to the next fresh thing.
