In an attempt to get around to using more of the samples I had waiting at home, I decided (ill-adviced) to spray 8 Prin Lomros fragrances on skin all at once (I do have a lot of skin) and make shorter reviews for them.

Probably one of my least favorites (and few misses) in the Strangers Parfumerie collection, even though I initially really want to love it.

This is hypercontemporary, airy with sharp alcohol scent piercing my nose in the first minutes. As opposed to some of the other fresh and bright modern ones from the brand, this one feels too ‘second-skin’, minimal, anosmia-inducing for me.

There’s an airy faint apple/pear fruitiness and that has a really nice acidity, almost white wine or vinegar quality to it. I was enjoying that opening scent, however, this is a fragrance that I go noseblind to almost instantly. I wish this pear opening would last, but it eludes me within a couple of minutes. After that I can’t make much of what I’m smelling, besides a slightly sweetened, floral skin scent.
