Chemical Hazard

I avoided trying this perfume after it was badly received by more seasoned noses in my circle. I knew it would smell bad, but my God, I didn't think it could be this bad. This is one of the worst perfumes that I have tried in many years. As soon as I sprayed it I got hit by a massive Ambrocenide that burnt my nostrils and hurt my brain cells. I thought to myself, "Let it settle down, it's Malle, have faith" but nope. This stuff is straight-up garbage. Stuff like this one would smell in all designer/commercial boutiques, and airports, heck, drug stores, supermarkets. The fact that Malle put this one out, and all the blabber about this being Roucel's personal scent and the price. Outrageous. This one should have been called Synthetic Jungle, or Synthetic Mess. Or Outrageously Bad. This house is going down full throttle with these sorts of releases. The Moon was also a synthetic beast, Promise the same, then Superstitious. Small flickers of hope then with Rose & Cuir and Synthetic Jungle, and then this epic failure, and now the boring Heaven Can Wait. It was a great house, but shit started going way South around 2017 for them. Used to love this house.

Uncle Jim

Hmm.. I get an indistinct dry woody-amber from beginning to end. A bit like angelica root stripped of its bitterness and its grainy structure replaced by something smoother, a musky-amber something. No notes stand out except for some incense and grease in the opening. It's not a bad scent by any means, but this is not the kind of stuff you pay "Malle money" for.

On top of that, the whole marketing is a miss. It reeks of a business deal with Symrise forwarding Ambrocenide, where Malle and Roucel function as faces in an advertisement campaign. Given the poor ratings it gets, the audience has clearly seen through the façade.

Love it!

Uncut Gem is amazing and it something which you would not expect from Mr. Roucel.
Deep, rich, woody, citrus with some good amber elements. Is it bigarade or is it grapefruit? It is definitely bitter and bold.

It is strong. It is refreshing, but deep and rich as well. There is a lot of incense which makes me happy as I am a huge incense fan.

It is definitely "something new" and I think that you'll like it as well.
Even though I think that FM is completely unisex, this one is a masculine scent and it is very loud and present in the air.

It is musky, but not MR or DTB musky. I really love this one.
Maurice Roucel - welcome back!
