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.

I tested the fragrance today, and I can totally see it being perfect for situations like you described. I might just get the bottle since it’s pretty affordable :)

To me, it was much less clean than expected. Not quite as intense as the plastic egg, but still too much.

So it seems like just a new bottle with some watered-down content. The one in the plastic thing was too sweet for me in the long run. If I see a tester, I'll give it a try.

They probably reformulate it too, just like the expensive brands. In the 90s, the scent was definitely more intense.

My daughter (10) gave this to me for Christmas because I loved the scent in the tester (that was the old bottle). I think the old version is even softer, deeper, and has a bit more of a BW scent.

You can currently find it at Müller. 30ml for 7.45 euros. The old stock of Cotton Musk is rare and has become quite expensive at 24.95. It seems a bit weaker to me compared to the old scent. But the fragrance is very similar.

According to the UdV Facebook page, only the name and design have changed; the formula is the same as the old Cotton Musk.

Where did you come across the scent? DM? I really like the regular Cotton Musk!

Yes, that might be, Sun Fairy. But I think this one is a bit more delicate.

I saw it recently, but there was no tester. I suspected they gave "Cotton Musk" a new home in that round bottle? :))
