Where is that pink plastic egg?
So there I was in the drugstore, buying for the fourth time the perfume that has adorned my perfume corner since I was 15. Although "adorned" might not be the right word here - rather a terrible plastic something that you can hardly take out of your bag in broad daylight without being 12 years old (that's how I probably saw it back then). But at least that didn't stop me from bringing this little fragrance home 3 more times.
So I went to the checkout, full of anticipation for the scent of "the past," and barely through the front door, I opened the package. And held this pink cone-shaped bottle in my hand. Meanwhile, in the drugstore, my familiar pink plastic egg was still there as a tester! Panicking, I sprayed it on my wrist and immediately recognized: that's it! A lot of musk with vanilla. The contents were still the same, and I can't detect any difference from the predecessor; maybe just because I still don't have a professional nose for perfumes. When I look at my perfume shelf in the meantime, I almost feel a bit sentimental about the old plastic egg, as this bottle design is simply dull and, unlike its predecessor, has zero recognition value. The scent definitely has that: fresh, light, and vanillic sweetness that is by no means heavy and lasts long on the skin, which many of my expensive perfumes can't even come close to achieving. And on top of that, musk!

Kinship in a straight line...
...to "Cotton Musk".
But: this little sister here is lighter from the very start.
Actually, I can agree with Sonjoschka on all points. I smell a pleasant sweetness right after spraying, then within a quarter of an hour, it mutates into the cotton musk she described, with a hint of vanilla.

Softer and more wearable than the big sister, in my opinion.

No idea what type of musk Ulric de Varens is pouring in here, just like in the green "Mini Kiss" (which unfortunately no longer exists), or in "Mini Glamour"; I totally dig this stuff that smells "cheaply" clean to some!

The longevity is mediocre, but at this price, it doesn't matter.
An affordable clean scent for any season and situation.

This "Miss" comes across as "mâle" boyish!
So, once again a blind buy thanks to the comment from my dear predecessor Sonjoschka, and besides, there was no tester available (*grml*)

But, it doesn't cost the earth, and I certainly wasn't going home today without a little scent!

So, quite excited at home, I tore off the foil and sprayed it on my shin (!) since, of course, after a testing spree, there was no more room on my arms/hands.

Alcohol dissipates, Jessi, remember that finally, what do you expect from a drugstore scent? But then: Hm, delicious, sunscreen, very pleasant, yay, not a bad buy! But wait, sniff, cough, where do I know THIS from? Well, let's wait and see...

Ten minutes later: Quick sniff, BAM! Flash! This stuff really smells, no joke, like JPG "Le Mâle"!!! I just had a little laughing fit, the similarity on my skin is truly striking! And this from a fragrance that comes in a cute pink bottle and has "Miss" in its name, tsk tsk...

Hm, what do I do now? This is definitely not what I wanted, meaning fresh laundry blah blah... but the good news is: I've always really liked "Le Mâle," even though it unfortunately reminds me of my ex-boyfriends because it used to be such an absolute "crowd-pleaser," which today is unfortunately "One Million," sigh... (And JPG is, in my opinion, at least well made, har, that had to be said!)

But here, in any case, is my absolute insider tip for those who like JPG but are short on cash, the sillage and longevity are really amazing for the price (7.35 €)... Hehe, I can just imagine a muscle guy dousing himself with this pink bottle, *giggle*

I would really love to have a perfumer nearby, I would love to know if I'm the only one noticing this similarity... I dare to drop the term "scent twin"!

Fresh Cotton
I came across the scent yesterday and had to take it with me. According to the homepage, the fragrance is still quite new.
In general, I am not averse to affordable scents if they are well made. I liked this one. It reminds me of the earlier Cotton Musk by Varens, which I owned in the 90s.

Miss Cotton Musk smells like fresh cotton dried in the summer breeze, in a light, white musk base.
The sillage is rather weak and the longevity is average. But I spray it on more often.
It's ideal for refreshing yourself in between and getting a clean feeling.
I smell little of the flowers and vanilla. The bottle is pink, shaped like that of the Miss Varens Fashion fragrance. It serves its purpose.
I don't want to write much more about it. You can always have it with you at work. It won't disturb others.

I really enjoy wearing it early in the morning. When other scents are still too much for my nose and it is not yet "burdened" by other, heavier fragrances. It's a cozy, clean start to the day. In the morning, I perceive the sillage much stronger. It lasts a good 8 hours.
A great perfume.

It smells like the best night spent sleeping. White cotton musk, slightly powdery, clean, fresh, white. Dreamily beautiful.

Cottony musk with a hint of lavender. Unfortunately, not as soft as the pink egg.
Something's missing. Still worth it for the price :-)
