A very classic aldehydic, baby-powdery, laundry detergent floral from BDK.

At first, I wasn’t impressed by this. You get a huge dose of freshness, aldehydes and it felt more like something I’d only use for laundry, not as a perfume. However, I must say that as it dries, more of the soft, sandalwoody base comes through and a hint of sweetness as well.

It remains rather clean and fresh, almost soapy, but it gets a bit more character and it feels really smooth. Actually one of the higher quality compositions from the house to my nose.

Not something I’d get overly excited about, but I’m not mad at this.
