“Some background first: I do wear cologne every day but I do not use “fancy†brands. Mine usually consists of something mild from Bath & Body works.

There’s a trend here. the liquid inside the bottle does not smell half as nice as the final scent on your skin. I also put some on my skin to see how the liquid would change and react to my particular skin. This is one of my new top favorite perfumes now. On my skin the scent turns into something light, something clean, and something subtle. I can’t say exactly what it smells like, but it makes me think I just showered. This is one of those forgiving perfumes if you accidentally put on too much, and can only be d...”
