Pledge mixed with Pine Sol. Mercifully, does not last long.

Starts off very tart, sharp, sour and green, like a sour tropical fruit accented with mint. It's somewhat sweet at first, and to me smells like a modernized version of Centaure or L'Eau du Caporal. From the topnotes it had me thinking a full bottle was definitely in my future. As it dries through the middle notes, the sour quality remains, though it loses the sweetness and becomes more of a dusty (dusty like iris) mint scent. I wouldn't say it seems as complex as MPG's Centaure, but it does seem more complex and more interesting than L'Artisan's L'Eau du Caporal. My main, perhaps only, issue is that it doesn't last. It really doesn't last. After an hour or so, it's much fainter, though still very present, but a few hours in, it's a whisper. It is very good while it lasts.
