Powdery, fresh laundry florals with bitter, musty citrus. Slightly green, honeyed facets on a musky, woody base. Pedestrian, yet beautiful.

“Pedestrian, yet beautiful” is my new goal of what I aspire to be @Wusubi 😂

@Gourmandgrl haha I’ll admit I’m also more considerate with my scent selections and amount of sprays lately. Maybe I’m maturing, who knows. 😂
After having tried everything, Oesel is probably the best clean white florals profile, pure class, but also slightly bitter. I just don’t think it’s for me, no matter how hard I try to like it.

Sounds like a seller not a keeper, could be worse I suppose

@TheDunkPapa it has that same clean laundry quality, but it leans more into citrus.
It also has a honey twist instead of almond/marzipan.
Ngl, I prefer Oesel to Dreamer, Reflection, Fleurs de Cintronnier and other renditions of this DNA.
Not too powdery and pleasantly bittersweet.

@TheDunkPapa I’ll include a sample so you don’t have to break the cellophane on yours.
It’s a keeper tbh, a modern spin on The Dreamer and my sister already said she’s down for long hugs if I’m wearing this one! 😂

I live in London, don't own a car so I like pedestrian... I see a few reviews mentioning similarities to Reflection, and lamenting poor longevity. What do you think?

@Merlotsupern you beat me to the pedestrian pun! 😂

@Merlotsupern longevity is fine for me, but patchouli and musk don’t work that well for some.
It’s more citrusy than Reflection, so the mustiness balances out the powdery aspects.
