Well that was interesting today I wore Hawas Ice today and even after trying to wipe it off with 91% isopropyl alcohol and some qtips to spread some light layers of alcohol and also taking a swim in a pool I still got told it was quite strong. And the smell to me is like 1/4 of what it was at the start. Guess they don’t call it a beast projector for no reason but does give me some thought as to considering projection a bit more when I consider my portfolio I want to keep around.

    Wow! That sounds potent. It stayed after swimming????

      Yep!

    It's always a good idea to give the ME dupes some wears at home first. A lot of them are designed to really push. There are people with extra sensitive noses as well, though. How many sprays did you apply?

      Two sprays total, one on each elbow on the inside. And person in question had a sensitive nose so also a potential factor 🤔

      Replying to @tekwizz123

      I've heard it's supposed to be strong, but that seems incredibly so. If you're in regular contact with that person, it might be one to skip. I have a few that I enjoy but can't wear to work due to a colleague's preferences.

    Someone suggested to use micellar water or makeup remover on another post where someone ended up with a scrubber scent. Maybe give that a try?

      Hmm yeah keep hearing makeup remover I’ll have to give that a try. First time hearing of micellar water though!

      It might have been me! I've definitely recommended it, and for my skin it works very well to get rid of fragrance.

    I've heard using an oil, even olive oil or whatever you have, then Dawn dish soap helps for what's left on skin. If it refuses to leave clothes after washing, you can soak in water and Dawn as well. I usually love strong projectors because my skin eats up perfume, but that sounds unpleasantly strong.

      Oh interesting thanks for sharing that I’ll definitely give that a try!
