Hypochlorous acid + skin musk notes… am I insane?

A bit embarrassed to admit this and hope I don’t come across as TOO unhinged but I am obsessed with the smell combo of hypochlorous acid (product used as antibacterialisng skin care, has a light chlorine scent) + human skin. Just the smell of hypochlorous acid as a mist is fine enough but when I smell my palms right after patting it onto my face, it makes me want to crawl into my own skin in a really good way. It reminds me of a distinct childhood smell I would have lingering on my skin after a full day at the pool… The type of inoffensive chlorine note that remains a bit even after a shower.

Is there any perfume out there that would be accessible from the EU with a skin and chlorine note, that isn’t totally offensive to the general public? The smell I am trying to describe isn’t too bleachy or overly chemically at all, it’s very comforting and warm in a distinctly sterile way.

Unfortunately I need this in my life or I’ll be stuck spraying hypochlorous acid spray onto my palms to sniff every few hours like a weirdo. For now the best idea I can come up with is settling for finding a chlorine note EDP and combining that with Phlur’s Missing Person for the skin element.

TIA

Haven’t seen anyone mention pilling… and just small sections of my face were eventually pilling when I was applying / trying to blend the sunscreen into my skin. Face was clean, with HA serum which was fully dry. I’ll try again tomorrow maybe without any skin prep, other than washing my face with water? Although the box states I can do my full routine prior.

Other than that I really enjoy the texture… and it’s colourless for me NC10-15, half Asian half white neutral undertoned skin
