Technofetish

Robbe, armed with two steam irons, across the scratchy polyethylene carpet of the local electronic goods store.

Cathode ray tubes fire their last electrons against a wall of plasma TVs - a heated power struggle of photons and electrostatic discharges.

Plastic packaging and circuit boards start to sweat, the waste heat brings them to their knees. A spectacle of thermoplastic deformation - technoid melting point tantra in polycarbonate ecstasy.

The cold appliances hum at 50 Hz and run hot, while cascaded multiple sockets (without DGUV test certificate) feed an army of tumble dryers that spin themselves into ecstasy at full speed.

The warm, humid steam of a freshly opened dishwasher escapes between the beguiling new smell, hot running coils and ozone-laden air from the air conditioning system - clinical, artificial and unashamedly clean. A green-thumbed condenser dripping with verdigris discharges its condensed milk condensate in an uncontrolled manner.

A space beyond liminality - too garish, too loud, too commercial, too real. Ordinary and absurd at the same time. Outdated electro junk next to futuristic tech gadgets, a showcase of dissonance.

In the center of this non-liminal space: glaring cold spotlight, confused looks meet me.

"What is it?" ... "Do you actually know Æther?" ... "they make great perfumes with particularly high-quality and natural ingredients ... everyone really likes them!"

MediaMarkt - I'm not stupid after all

HE IS IT

Oh my God, I've finally found it. The fragrance I thought I could never describe, when the need to be able to smell it is far too strong - preferably as a perfume, whenever I want. I have tested too many fragrances, all too scratchy, too fresh, too weak, too ordinary. But here it is. I'm just a little bit out of my socks because I have the perfection of a fragrance in front of me. It smells like warm, soft ironed laundry without smelling gourmand or dark, it smells like skin, like water, like bed linen, like dryer warmth, like sun warmth, like fluffy fur, like light. It simply smells unique and 100% like me.

Try

As interesting as it is banal. Ultræ smells exactly as described and commented on here: Dry Clean, Dry, Hot, Electronic Wrap, Dry Again, and Electric Trade, or as the ODOR Characteristics of the perfume's distributors put it, "Aldehydic, Dry, Woody, Clean, Warm, Hot Iron, Amber Undertone." Rarely have I come across a perfume that I perceive as so identical to its package insert. This is not surprising, as these linguistic descriptors of ingredients are something that is carefully weighed by the big companies in the fragrance industry, with sensory tests, questionnaires and pi pa po. Ultræ is one of the better releases from Aether, a company whose raison d'etre is based on two concepts: Perfumes that refer to one or a few molecules, which may have had its origins with Helmut Lang's Velviona, and with the industrial notes that came out big with Comme des Garçons Odeur 53 and 71, and especially via Series 6: Synthetic. Ultræ almost sounds like it zoomed in on a few facets of Odeur 53 and intensified them. As much as I like explicitly synthetic perfumes, there's something not coherent about this one, a technical perfume, in a staid, 'precious' glass bottle with a golden lid that could also be any snooty water in it, and since recently, an image campaign reminiscent of CK1 ads 20 years ago, only in hip. It's definitely worth a test, the dry cleansing accord is realistic and impressive. A replacement for Comme des Garçons Dry Clean (2004) it is unfortunately not, that was much more opulent and moist, who is looking for a lighter and also more complex implementation of such notes, should test Odeur 53 or 71

I've been playing perfume!

You have played through perfumo when you only buy fragrances with which you smell unperfumed.
Sure, you can have it any other way, some of you might even suspect it by not perfuming yourself in the first place, but that's not the same thing. Dry alcoholics know what I mean.
Only a Mon Cherie can kill three hornets, and only an AldambreTM molecule can bring the renegade perfume back to life. I swear.

Aldehydes you'll love too. Rose oxide that has nothing to do with roses, and Habanjeros and Tonialyde, after which you want to lick all 10 fingers, but not because the stuff is most likely quite poisonous, but what the hell, Malle is only once a year!

I also smell MediaMarkt, and I know MediaMarkt, don't ask you, and I can fully comprehend the association; but you only become sharp if you have developed a fetish to the white-matt-velvety Apple product overpacks, BASF cassettes and VARTA hearing aid battery blister goods
Full score.
