Aqua Universalis Cologne Forte
Maison Francis Kurkdjian (2021)

Though Aqua Universalis Cologne Forte is sold as bergamot, florals, and musk, what I'm getting is a light but sharp aquatic/ozonic—not the purity of fresh air so much as the filtered exhaust of an air purifier. Throw in some bleach, and I might be at a public swimming pool.

Instead, there's a bit of synthetic floral sweetness and laundry musk. It's better than chlorine, but that's not exactly a great sales pitch. While I don't mind the scent of dryer sheets, I don't particularly want to wear them.
