Une massive headache
I think ELDO should revise the fragrance pyramid to read as follows:
Top: Sudden severe headache
Mid: Intractable nausea
Base: Why do I feel like I'm licking a mouldy wet wooden bark?
There are some ELDO fragrances with certain synthetic notes that do not go with my olfactive system. Hermann with the Geosmin and I suspect the Akigalawood in combination with something else in this. Just no.
I can tolerate some challenging fragrances in high heat without much issue but this gave me a literal headache. The vigorous scrubbing of the skin site post application simply took me into the mid notes of intractable nausea. After some paracetamol, fluid resuscitation and time, I felt like I was in a torture movie in a some remote woods near a marshland being forced to lick a wet bark.
One of the reasons I love fragrances is due to individual variations in perception of scents. To some people, I'm sure this is a pleasant olfactive profile. Unfortunately I am not one the aforementioned people. ELDO, please for the love of God, keep this one away and out of the discovery set. I'd rather have had the opportunity to try Afternoon of a Faun instead. If you really wanted to shock, I'd have much rather smelled Secretions Magnifiques.
The only silver lining to this was the fact that it was just a sample. Still, I couldn't even bring myself to empty the fragrance down the sink before disposing of the bottle for fear of having to endure that scent *shivers*
Never again.
