Prototype: Katharina v7
no notes given
In bottle: faintly fruity, fleeting, ethereal. Shimmery, bright apricots. I'm not getting much orange blossom yet, but then I usually amp that, so we'll see. I got a little more orange blossom from the released blossom than this.
Wet on skin: hmm, somewhat soapy. This doesn't change so much newly wet--white musk and apricots, shimmery. The white musk is going soapy on me, I think. I'm still not identifying the neroli, although it's not out of the question.
Dry: yeah, it's quite soapy. Dusty apricot and shimmery white musk, it's a pretty orange-pink color with shimmery white woven through it. (Count the number of times I write "shimmery"?) The difference here for me against the released version would be the white musk--the released version went grandmothery on me (dustily oily) while this one doesn't. And oh, the amount of the orange blossom, likely.
Verdict: oh well, Katharina in whatever form doesn't seem to work for me.
