Varensia Ulric de Varens 1994

I really like the first phase of this fragrance. Nicely spicy-woody with some citrusy and amber-like hints and plenty of flowers. Jasmine-rose-iris, so far so good.
But then a truckload of green and white striped Fa soap from the 90s comes in and ruins everything.
This soapy note lasts for several hours and surely has its fans here.
However, with the bottle and the opening, I would not have expected that at all - heavy, floral, spicy: yes. Soapy lily of the valley club: no.
The same strange "swimming pool" note that already bothered me in Vanderbilt and Chloé is also present here. I would love to know what that exactly is. An aldehyde? It can't be chlorine.
This second phase of Varensia spreads an incredibly aggressive, clean-soapy freshness that I unfortunately do not like at all.
After about 5-6 hours, the fragrance calms down again and becomes mild patchouli-woody. Phew, made it. In any case, an exciting fragrance journey. The longevity is not bad either.
No matter what it says up there, if there are no (synthetic) lily of the valley notes in it, I'll eat a broom.
