Review of Musk Superfluide by Olga Steinfeld

Unlike Couleur Primaire, this fragrance is clean yet soft, powdery, and sweet, like lemonade or pear candies. It is no longer about washing powder or a freshly laundered shirt, but rather fragrant soap and clean skin. The first impression is sparkling, green, and airy, with something that resembles the scent of a green pear. This effect comes from the combination of neroli and ambrette in the opening. As it develops, the fragrance becomes moderately powdery. The iris and violet are delicate: not vintage, damp, or earthy, but soft and light, like baby powder. Towards the drydown, the sweetness becomes more pronounced, taking on a subtle caramel nuance thanks to the benzoin. Overall, it has a slightly innocent character: clean, comforting, and gently sweet. It brings back vague childhood memories, something deeply familiar that I can't quite place. Whenever I wear it, I feel as though I've just had a bath. The longevity is impressive for such an airy fragrance, lasting up to five hours. An interesting detail: while Musk Superfluide reminds me of my own childhood, Couleur Primaire was inspired by a childhood memory of Arnaud Poulain - his mother hanging freshly washed sheets out to dry on warm summer days.
