Miss Cotton Musk Ulric de Varens

Helpful Review
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"!

Oh yes, it really does smell like Le Male! But I still have the old pink "Cotton Musk" egg without the Miss.

You’re right, the very first thing I thought when I sprayed it was "Le Male," and that it’s in a pink bottle ;-)

To me, it didn't smell like fresh laundry (which I expected), but rather like unclean, synthetic musk. *yuck*
