Hot Cotton

This is a steampunk scent! I can vividly imagine overheated machines hissing with steam. Yes, there’s a clean, freshly ironed white-shirt vibe (and yes, it instantly makes me think of Lupita doing the ironing; because I absolutely hate ironing, let Lupita handle it), but the real point of fascination here is entirely steampunk. Dry steam and radiant hot metal coexist. Gears, belts, pulleys, flywheels... metal pipes everywhere. Hissss, hissss; the sound of pressure escaping. It feels like being inside a workshop: everything dry, yet spinning like a vortex; radiant metal heat, a whisper of smoke; fog outside, warmth within. I’m wearing a high-collared ruffled shirt, a waistcoat with a pocket-watch chain, high-waisted leather trousers, workshop goggles, and a small bowler hat perched on my head. I never imagined something so industrial could pull me so deeply into a fantasy world. I’m in love. Tag(s): steampunk, metallic, industrial, hot metal, steam, clean-linen, bone dry steam

I have a quick review on my socials but essentially this is such a great skin scent. It obviously projects a little bit more than a skin scent but it’s very intimate. Addictive white cotton shirt after being pressed and steamed by an iron. Spyros captured this perfectly, you can even feel the hot steam enter your nose. Next level olfactory experience for sure. This is the type of scent they would use on a Disney or universal ride to give the 4D effect. Overall scent is amazing, especially if you’re into clean fresh warm silky skin musks / cotton fresh pressed shirts. Get a sample and see for yourself! I need to test performance still - just know it’s appropriate for all weather/seasons and it is not a room filler at all. True skin scent - so if you enjoy smell over beast mode performance this is the one! Granted it lasts on skin for 7+ hours just isn’t a huge projector.

This scent feels so deeply nostalgic that it actually made me cry the first time I smelled it. I was suddenly a child again, getting ready for picture day, filled with excitement because my mom had let me pick out my own dress for the first time. I remember the feeling of waiting impatiently as she ironed it for me - still warm and a little damp from the dryer. When I leaned in close to the steam, I almost burned myself, but found something oddly comforting in that heat. This is the kind of scent that lingers in the background, quietly reappearing when a breeze catches your skin or when you lay down. I frankly have no idea why this hasn’t caught on in the fragrance world.

Second review and I am loving this more than the first time. Wearing it with a crisp white button up shirt dress. Nude nails, sleek ponytail and when I tell you I feel the inspiration!!!! Hot cotton matches the fresh pressed shirt dress I piled my body with a great absorbing non scented body oil and it’s giving me more lasting power with hot cotton. I get wiffs of myself 🤭🤭😍😍. It’s sterile. Yes. It’s linear yes. But it’s avant garde in a way. It gallery fragrance. It’s an artists best kept secret. And I’m not even an artist lmao. Like this and Margiela tabis on with my dress and I feel magnificent! Buy it guys. It’s great to have in your collection.

Shut up! A literal ironed shirt. My plan is to wear this with dress pressed full denim Canadian tuxedo vibes of a crisp white button up shirt! And I mean CRISP! I also still had on some room1015 love-o-matic which is a clean laundry musky bubblegum scent and the two go together like a fat kid and cake. Like I said I’m spraying this all over the outfit and on my neck and chest I’ll do the clean laundry smell!!!! What a photorealistic scent. In my opinion it is a safe blind buy. Truly harmless. One could say it may be consumerism lol but I feel everyone needs a novelty fragrance in their line up like a novelty sock, sneaker or undies 🤭
