Familiar yet still Alien

I worked at Fruits and Passion for 3 years 2 decades (ish) ago and this scent reminds me very much of the "Coconut" Eau de Parfum in the long, translucent white bottle - I hated that scent.

There is zero coconut accord but because of my niche scent association I cannot help but think of being in the F&P retail store - black uniform, hot incandescent lights and about 56 different smells all whirling together to create one permeating perfume pit at the backcorner of the mega mall I worked at. I indeed felt like an Alien at that point in my life and I do not want to revisit that time.

As much as I hated that F&P "Coconut" Eau de Parfum, this particular scent doesn't bother me as much. Maybe it is the distance, maybe my strong opinions have loosened their teenage grip. If I hadn't ever smelled F&P "Coconut" Eau de Parfum, I can see why this is called "Alien" - It's difficult to put your finger on the accords you are smelling in this. It's clean - neither juvenile, nor mature, yet lacks any soapiness, powdery, citrus or green notes that you'd expect from a clean scent. It's clean in the way you'd imagine an alien ship to be - watery blue steel, sterile, ethereal and sleek.

Despite my attempt at an unbiased explanation and the alien spaceship appeal, I am one of the many who are turned off by this scent. C'est la vie.
