And what a noise they make on their homepages! But, fortunately, The Norwegian Board of Health Supervision is, according to the info on its web page, against any legally restriction of the use of perfumes. As a curiosity I read that on the formal Christmas party last year, of the Norwegian Christian Party, it was not allowed to wear perfume. But: I have never been a place where perfumes are not allowed.

As I recall, there was an interesting freshly ironed "steam" smell in the opening, but it quickly dried down to dryer sheet for me.

When I put on perfume, the only thought I spare for others is: I hope this will charm him (ok, I only think in terms of "hims"), when there's a him to charm.

I wish I understood musks better (paging Octavian!) Whatever that "clean" musk is in there and in various Estee Lauders, it smells very sour on me.
