I have to confirm it. There are definitely laundry detergent or fabric softener vibes coming through
Killing Fresh starts with that certain something that immediately brings to mind associations with laundry detergent or fabric softener.

In addition, we have this fresh, citrusy composition of bergamot, grapefruit, and verbena.
Here, the bergamot and verbena are stronger than the grapefruit.
A slightly fruity note is also perceptible.

Furthermore, you can sense the rose, which tries to give the fragrance a certain depth, but in my opinion, it doesn't quite succeed.

I can't really perceive cardamom and nutmeg.
I have the feeling of detecting cardamom just very, very lightly.
But it's a distinctly fresher cardamom.

In the background, you can feel this green tea and generally a "green" touch, which may also come from the listed oak moss.
As the fragrance develops, you notice this a bit better.
Despite that, I find the fragrance progression quite linear, and I can't detect any significant developments.

The performance of the fragrance is okay, but unfortunately nothing more.

Conclusion:
Fresh, citrusy, slightly fruity, greenish, and somehow also "herbaceous".
Additionally, associations with laundry detergent and fabric softener.

Citrus opening (bitter notes on paper), green, tends to develop into a generic musk synthetic scent with a tea note.

completely unnecessary, synthetic drugstore junk. Sometimes perfume houses should just keep quiet.

Bitingly sour like dried laundry detergent. Saved by a subtle yet present blackcurrant. Freshness is good. Annoying over time.

Zesty sour, green citrus. With an 80s vibe, it vaguely reminds me of New West for her in the pear bottle or Dali's Laguna. Gum vibe, summer freshie.

Different than expected. I smell sharp green ginger (probably rose + nutmeg) and a light tea vibe. It's not really fruity.

Name says it all: Very very very fresh & clean - a great fabric softener scent! Perfect after a shower!

It smells strongly of fresh laundry and fabric softener to me. Unfortunately, I can't detect more than that. What a pity.

I don't really like direct comparisons, but maybe this describes it: Pomelo Sorrento is unfortunately made simpler & less exciting.

Smells like a super fresh laundry detergent.
Like lime musk washed with fabric softener!
Great for daily wear.
