Aqua Universalis Forte

I am not a fan of this one, unfortunately. On me, the lemon in this is very much cleaning product and old, candied rind. Mixed with the florals, it smells like old potpourri and lemon bathroom cleaner, plus ivory soap from the musks - it is dated and not good on my skin. The citrus is not bright or tart, but is artificial and sickly sweet. Hopefully this smells better on you all than it does on me. It does soften a bit over time, but 5 hours in and it's still lemon detergent, dried flowers, and soap, though not as sharp. I guess I can see the vision once it's very faded - lemon and clean laundry. MFK's 724 is what I want this one to be (I prefer that so much more). I suppose this one isn't my style or isn't suited for my skin chemistry.

Projection is moderate for around 4 hours and it sticks to skin for about 8-9 hours. So although I don't like the scent, it does perform quite well.

3/10 because the opening is unpleasant and lasts too long for this to be worth wearing. Husband was not a fan either - I got the nose crinkle!
