When it comes to men, I don't feel a transformation into a robot, android, or anything similar. The name apparently refers to a manga of the same name and similar theme. On the other hand, the ingredient list is quite realistic. The perfumer today is equipped with scent materials that no mother has ever smelled.
How does smelling work, one might wonder. It seems that there are many types of olfactory cells. Scent substances do not correspond to a single cell type; rather, they stimulate several types at once. The areas of effect of individual scent substances overlap to some extent. It's somewhat like color vision. This overlap makes this sensory perception so sharply differentiated.
New scent substances leave their own pattern on the olfactory mucosa. They can have a wide range, which would only be thick with an additive mixture of natural substances, as it's hard to remove the excess.
Aqual(TM) strikes me as a wild aldehyde, hardly 'ozonic'. The generic hexyl acetate seems to resonate with all fruits. Mugane(TM) and Hedione create a recognizable, rather dry accord with the (subjectively) fading aldehyde tone and perhaps real jasmine. Once the vinyl guaiacol comes through, it simply becomes beautiful. Unfortunately, I can't find the Orcanox - or maybe I can’t. The Ambrox note is often exaggerated.
The initial yuzu is really authentic, more like the peel than the juice, but quite weakly scaled. Moss - I don't find the moss of old days.
In terms of gesture, I am reminded of 'Calandre', with more body from the vinyl guaiacol in a very successful way.
One more mundane addition: the sprayer is powerful. The first ELdOs were finer.
