- ❌ My nose has officially been assaulted 🤣
- ❌ It smells like someone showered with Ivory soap, lit an incense stick, then grabbed one of those tiny rose-shaped soaps your grandma kept on the bathroom counter and rubbed it all over their skin. Very clean, powdery, floral, and old-fashioned. Not for me.
- ❌ This did not smell remotely good to me. Seriously what is up with the hype??
- ❌ It's too vintage for my liking. The rose and incense are dominant throughout wear.
