Olivier Polge, the master perfumer of this creation is also said to create perfumes with  a minimum of sophistication and juggles with paradox.

Cotton candy Katy, by Will Cotton

So what can I say about this fragrance with the minimum words required? 

Ethereal cotton candy mixed with a bit of lemony zests? 

Or dewy extra sweet lemon meringue cloud?

Frankly we have a list here of this type of fragrances, they were a trend not long ago - check random picks - day eleven. I think if this was a drink or something to eat, it would be a fantastic edible experience, but unfortunately it is not, it is to be sprayed on skin.

L'Anonyme EDP is an enigma (from the website of the brand), and an enigma it is indeed...why to bother launch such an inexpressive little soul? Katy Perry teenager fans will certainly love it... I want to eat my arm right now, literally!

Random Post Mortem thoughts: after citrusy notes tuned down, the fragrance becomes very powdery-flowery after shower kind of perfume. It smells nice. Not an statement, not a perfume to wear if you want to be taken seriously but nice. The amazing thing about it: after drydown, after evaporating almost completely, the next day out of the sudden it bloomed again...cotton candy zombi? Post mortem fumum? a surprise indeed!
