Square Hammer?

Are you on the square? Are you on the level? Are you ready to swear right here, right now, before the Devil?

(Ghost, Meliora, 2016)

Yes, those who know Ghost know they like to play with fire and intentionally provoke. No, they are not Satanists. They are entertainers.

Just like this fragrance. It fits perfectly with this song.
An entertainer. A very good one.
Okay, it’s not a sledgehammer.
But the song still fits. The polemic. It would like to be harsh, but it is not.
One probably shouldn’t say this, but I don’t know Oud Wood. I’m not interested either. Mainstream perfume for €350? No.
It cost €28 in the souk. Supposedly similar. I don’t know.

I find it quite magnificent. NOT sweet. Always the most important thing.

Very pleasant. Never fresh, but still fresh-spicy. It can’t be evil and doesn’t want to be.

I don’t understand some reviews. What exactly is harsh here? What exactly is Oud here?
Super-fluffy, spicy everyday scent. No harshness, no stable in any form. Very friendly.
A bit of pepper, saffron, flower (rose? Maybe.). Very pleasant and very smooth… very beautifully composed. A bit of spicy wood. Nice. Total mainstream at a very high level. It seems almost oily for a moment, but it’s just a blender effect.
Yes, a bit of tobacco, just a bit of leather. Always very pleasing, never abrasive. Really well composed…
The base is almost too sweet. But still very particularly good.
Okay, not a Square Hammer. That’s more like He Is by Ghost.
Very magnificent, of course underrated and discontinued. As always.
Personally, I find the bottle kitschy and ugly. It is at least extremely heavy, so don’t drop it, or the tiles will break. But who cares? The content is quite magnificent…

Oh. S & M (Metallica reference) is relatively impressive.
