Thank you! Your vote has been counted, and the fragrance characteristics have been updated.
Nevertheless, this particular one is really interesting and unusual for my collection; I don't have anything like it. In summer, it will be an excellent choice for a white-shirt fragrance. I adore the Jil Sander brand, and this line in its chic bottles has long caught my eye. And finally, I found an opportunity to buy it at Magnit Kosmetik - 80 ml for 1700 rubles. It's simply a find, even without testing.
For me, Softly is indeed soft, creamy, and musky, although I still don't quite understand what musk is. It reminds me of the scent of talcum powder, like my mom's. However, it seemed to me that it's not very long-lasting and doesn't leave a sillage, which in some cases can be a plus. The most noticeable note is cotton; other notes are almost imperceptible. No flowers or sandalwood with ginger, just cream and cotton.
I also want to note the stunning color of the bottle and packaging - the bottle is high-quality, heavy, and beautiful, and the atomizer is painted in pastel turquoise. The advertising poster and model are also impressive! I was surprised that Nathalie Lorson is the author. Now I want to learn more about this line, and I'll definitely look into it in the future
