Whisky in the morning

If Jean-Baptiste Grenouille had brewed a perfume out of Lemmy Kilmister, I would imagine it would be something like this.

At least in the opening, because it's almost as brute and unapologetically masculine as Lemmy was musically at his best:

Whisky, leather and sharp, smoky peat.

A fragrance that is not afraid to show its edges, that doesn't need to please and yet does so for that very reason.

However, anyone who assumes they are getting a stuffy, gloomy fragrance is mistaken. The dominant triad is complemented by all kinds of lighter and softer notes, which balance out the fragrance and make it appear friendlier and brighter as it progresses.

Tobacco is quickly in the air, giving the fragrance an unobtrusive sweetness that is supported by davana and has a slightly fruity undercurrent. When the whiskey and peat calm down a little, this light tobacco takes up more and more space in the heart note until it is increasingly replaced by the vanilla-musk base towards the end.

In this way, the fragrance becomes more and more pleasing, but never completely loses its edges, its soul and therefore my interest.
