Pros & Cons
- ✅ I will always wear it. Such a beautiful lingering scent that I first noticed on a fellow nurse. I ordered it for myself. It’s a keeper. Not too heavy for work, just a really pleasant floral experience.

- ❌ I was unpleasantly surprised when I first ever smelled it. Due to its name I was looking forward to a fresh, clean laundry detergent kind of smell a la Blanche by Byredo or Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela. I thought that this could be my new holy grail of clean scent. But
