stupid sexy shower gel

The name made me anticipate a drugstore bottle of something like “Love Island: The Fragrance!,” but I found a more cultured spicy rose. Feisty and youthful without being syrupy or cloying. Essentially a fruity, red rose tempered with photorealistic pepperberries. (My childhood bedroom abutted a pepperberry tree so I drank that scent for a decade). Someone online also said “Herbal Essences,” which, once said, cannot be unsaid. Basic, but pleasant!

Longevity: Burned out around 4h on skin, but got >7 in fabric

Mental Snapshot: You’re a thirty-something playing a teen-something in an upcoming drama. (It’s ok: you’re still hot). Besides, you’re revisiting the follies of youth through the lens of wisdom and experience. (It’s ok: it’s an HBO production, not some CW cringe). You drink Mike's Hard in the back of a Maybach.

Tl;dr: stupid sexy shower gel.

Sour, Ozonically Green Rose Water

Although it supposedly only has pepper in the top note, it feels less pungent to me than the Rosa Carnivora from the same line; the pepper is generally not sharp, not even spicy. It is present somewhere, but not ground, a few peppercorns, somewhat disappointing when reading such a pyramid.

15-20 minutes in, phew, the rose water almost gives me a bit of a headache, has a certain, vinegar-like base note, which is something specific to me; I always have trouble with that note. However, it is nice, slightly sour, green-fresh, not artificial or anything like that.
You can already notice how the cashmeran comes in and gently rounds everything out and lifts it up, very bright and light in body. It takes on slightly ozonic notes, in the rose garden just before the thunderstorm.

In the base, a rather sour musk comes through, intense, fresh, not quite my direction.

Overall, absolutely not for me, several notes that don't appeal to me. However, anyone who enjoys sour-fresh and greenish rose or almost rose extract might want to check this one out.
