I've got the power, baby!
Whoa! So there it is, one of Aaron Terrance Hughes' first creations. Sure, provocative might be the name, but does it matter? Not really, the content is what matters. After all, names like "Putain des Palaces" from Etat Libre d'Orange are extravagant.
I myself own two bottles. I bought my first one directly from ATH's website about a month ago and the second one recently from eBay. I have noticed that ATH has now slightly modified the design of the bottle. The cap and sprayer are of higher quality. In addition, the juice has a stronger yellowish color. The eBay bottle was probably from the first batch - both smell and hold the same. This is just an info on the side.
SLUT! Yes that sounds really pushy and aggressive and theoretically the scent could be like that. Aaron describes this as the first fragrance of his "sex range". A fragrance that fills the room, is meant to attract attention and is also perfect as a clubbing scent. And I have to say: yep, the perfume is strong, especially for being a fresh scent. Clubbing? I don't know. Of course, due to the current situation, you can't test it anyway. But it may not be sweet enough for clubbing. But that's a purely hypothetical claim.
Once you smell the bottle and sprayer before spraying, I think most people here perceive the fragrance in such a way that it's not what you expected. No, this DNA was completely foreign to me too. At first the smell reminded me very badly of medicine or cough syrup. At least for a moment. Then in the second moment the perception that I had imagined something completely different. Nevertheless, when I hadn't even removed the cap I noticed that the smell was already perceptible. So it was clear - the thing has power as promised.
The sillage after spraying is strong, very strong. So I dared to go for a walk right outside in the warmth to find out how the scent behaves. Neroli and bergamot in the prelude do not seem as citric as one might think or know from other scents. Here they really do appear very natural and bring out their green facets clearly. Unlike many mainstream designers who come completely synthetic with punch in the nose, Slut's top note is soft and balanced after a short exposure. You can tell that SLUT is not a mainstream cirtus perfume, but follows a very clear line of its own. The first minutes are totally pleasant, mainly green, floral and slightly citric. The slut in SLUT is definitely not yet ready. As I walk through the park and the wind gently roams around, I constantly perceive the sillage of the perfume. And it smells just perfect for the current season.
Further verdure, darker floral notes of patchouli and jasmine samba (Arabic jasmine) come through, giving the fragrance more depth and maturity. It's this darker gradient in the heart note that I think is exactly what Aaron describes as "filth" and "dirty". The "Slut" is there now, so to speak, and it's making its mark. With the fading nuances of the top note, it's a great play. You just smell different than "the others", it gives you confidence. The fragrance makes me feel completely at ease outside. Even after hours, SLUT is still around me, always a "Whoa" in my head, I never expected that. SLUT has probably captivated and seduced me. All in all there were over 9 hours of durability. However, I am not quite sure how I should smell in the base note "dirt"...
Back to the topic of where you are perhaps most likely to wear the fragrance: Date? No, maybe not safe enough. Fancy dinner? No, too strong. Free time? Yes, especially outside when it's warmer. Club? No plan, I can't say. Office? Yep, because basically I think it's DNA. You smell fresh, clean, but if office, dose carefully. All in all, however, a fragrance that works much more casually than formally.
Aaron also suggests in a video that you can layer SLUT with Animalix to bring those dark nuances to the fore. I had ordered Animalix at the time to test exactly that. In itself Animalix is an absolutely dangerous beast. Sparingly and carefully dosed, paired with SLUT, you have a completely new fragrance that puts the animal character more to the fore. The result is a completely new composition, but one that is best suited to autumn. This combination is worthwhile. But then again: less is more!
Well, I'm really impressed with the perfume. Although I was expecting something else, I am actually positively surprised by what Aaron has created here. On the other hand, I'm not surprised that he can put his knowledge to good use in creating his fragrances. The way SLUT has become, that's the way it should be. I suspect that these darker tones run right through his collection. At 55 British pounds, he's not particularly expensive in my eyes either. It basically delivers everything you want: unique DNA and very good performance for a fresh floral fragrance
