Perseus and the winged shoes
Perseus, son of Zeus, who beheaded Medusa and escaped with his winged shoes (which he received as thanks from the nymphs because he freed them from the stench of the Graias)...

In another version, Perseus received the winged shoes from the messenger of the gods Hermes himself - hence perhaps the frequently mentioned similarity to Eau Givrée?

.... it could have been so beautiful, but it wasn't (at least for me).

It starts very positively for me: juicy grapefruit with blood orange - wooowww...!

Only minutes later, the disillusionment:
Synthetics + toilet stone vibes, 2 hours later the urge to wash up, but resisted! There must be something more to come, I think to myself - it's a PDM after all!

After a good 3 hours, this synthetic citrus finally becomes a little less penetrating and it becomes a little more tart. Still, it's not really any nicer and the winged shoes of Perseus come to mind to see if they could perhaps save me from this smell...

By now I've lasted almost 6 hours - I'm a bit of a mythology fan after all - but still nothing of wood or spice on my skin/in my nose, only the loo stone has become a slightly milder, slightly softer citrus cleanser.

I am now taking my wing shoes (in the form of a strong soap) and fleeing/giving up.

I really like citrusy fragrances, but this one is not my taste at all, because everything seems rather penetratingly pungent, synthetic and artificial to me.

Unfortunately, that's my opinion. I would have really liked to like it.
