Animalistically masculine...or rather sex in a spray?

"The water glides over him as if it were marble, sinking into the groove of his muscles, disappearing into his pores..."

These are not lines from an erotic novel, but the introduction to Tom of Finland on the website of Etat Libre d'Orange.

The French are known for very bold and provocative creations - some even call them "rowdy perfumers". But one thing they will probably never be accused of is being boring! So what could be more fitting than a collaboration with another, unfortunately deceased provocateur or his remaining foundation?

Touko Laaksonen (1920-1991), better known as Tom of Finland, founded it together with his friend Durk Dehner in 1984. The goal of the foundation was and is to preserve Laaksonen's artistic work for future generations and to manage one of the world's largest erotic art archives.
Etat Libre d'Orange was granted permission to use the name for a perfume, but only with one condition: it should not interfere with the natural scent of a man.
Consequently, Antoine Lie describes his creation as follows: "A guy who just came out of the shower, who is clean but not perfumed and puts on his leather pants."

So I spray the fragrance on my skin with a certain expectation...smell...wait a moment...smell again...and think only: Target clearly missed!
But immediately after that comes the big but - SO WHAT?!

Tom of Finland hits like a bomb, I smell sweetly spicy male sweat, leather clothes, musk with citrus notes...then it becomes softer, amber and vanilla come through and give it a certain creaminess that lasts until the end...and I can only think of one thing: SEX!

What surprises me about the fragrance classification of previous users is the alleged "freshness". Fresh is something different for me - the scent is the exact opposite and I find it very provocative, wild, animalistic, with many edges and corners. There will definitely be people who will turn away in disgust and others who will give themselves to it without restraint.

I also cannot imagine for the life of me confronting my colleagues with this, but I will wear it with great pleasure in the club! I am already curious about the reactions and will report on it when I have the chance...

If Mr. Lie were to change his description as follows, he would have hit the absolute jackpot: "A hot guy who just had dirty, uninhibited sex, is now putting on his leather gear again and riding his motorcycle to the next party..."

More of that!

PS: From Tom of Finland, there are also eight different boxes available, each containing different erotic drawings by Touko Laaksonen. Four versions are available with age restrictions and four versions are freely available.

Da sehen wir mal wieder wie unterscheidlich Düfte sich entwickeln oder wirken können Chanelle...

Ich habe den vor Monaten mal gerochen und fand ihn frisch bis unschuldig, fast wie Kölnisch Wasser. Ich habe die Ü21-Verpackung für eine geschickte Marketingstrategie gehalten, einen solche nichtssagenden Duft verhökert zu bekommen...

Interessanter Ansatz Louce! Eine Diskussion darüber könnte sehr spannend werden...*g*

Hmmm.. ob Erotikduft mit einem männlichen Objektphantasma für männliche und weibliche Nasen das selbe ist? Ich frag mich das gerade, ohne Antwort zu wissen. Auf jeden Fall dürfte dabei helfen, mal an ToF zu riechen. *g* Thanx!
