M1 Narcissus (2004)
by CB I Hate Perfume

This is perhaps the most "perfumey" of the CB's I've tried. Very much a clean, white floral. Like many white florals, I really find it a bit too clean; it reminds me of nice floral soap, especially when I smell close to my skin. From a distance, however, it is more subtle and enjoyable. Unlike some from this line, it does have a bit of silage, and creates something almost like a soft little aura of freshness in the air around me. I barely know I'm smelling something, just that it is there. Nice effect.

Fragrance elements: narcissus, clean running water over mossy stones, wind blowing through green leaves…
M#1 Narcissus is a nice scent, the first CB I’ve tried that I like. It has attractive green-leaf notes that remind me of Bond No. 9 Gramercy Park, but are not as subtle. There are some lovely flowers. I don’t know what narcissus smells like but there is a combination of lily of the valley, iris, and sweet pea. This is interesting, not sweet, somewhat haunting in style. Because it is so floral it is not quite my style, but I can appreciate it.
