The street dog
This bottle! Shape! Cap! It bulges in and out, has someone punched holes in the edges and gnawed on the cap? And why do you hang something on it that looks from afar like some kind of steampunk beetle, some miniature machine, something that a pomadised, twirling-toothed Wilhelminian-style supervillain would send out in masses from his underground cave into the world to put an end to the Wilhelminian bourgeoisie. And then there's some other skinny tassel fuzzing around it? For me everything completely incomprehensible and at least as "not me" as the bags of this label
In fact, I only have a bottle lying here with me because a souk partner, from whom I had ordered a bottling, immediately sent me the remaining bottle. The content would not have been enough for more fillings
Now it is so that the fragrance in its uncompromising take-off and its colossal power reminds me a little bit of a steam-powered forge hammer, which at first raised the question whether the contents of the packaging were ironically quoted and exaggerated (hats off, I would have said), but no, the other bottles only vary in colour and everywhere there is an absurd buzzing about them.
The scent starts off without an acceleration phase, unrestrained and loud, doesn't say "please" and "thank you", but has such a cheeky street dog charm, rude, uncultivated, I can't resist. It starts out spicy and peppery and herbaceous, very, very dark, smoky and a bit tarry - the sunny bergamot doesn't have much to offer. Nice, I think and: Really different - in this price range you won't find too many scents with such a "walk and lick" attitude
Of course, the fragrance doesn't become really quiet in the transition to the heart note, that would be too bad, but more binding tones prevail. That's good, because now the fragrance becomes really wearable. I breathe smoky, very dark vanilla tones and if there were black jasmine, it would be in here. Suede says the pyramid, I want to believe it, both as a fragrance ingredient and as the haptic equivalent of the fragrance: it's rough and wild and velvety at the same time now. The slight angularity and naughtiness that also remains in the heart note prevents it from slipping into an all too arbitrary warm and soft vanilla banality and sufficiently breaks up the now distinct sweetness. The street dog remains a street dog. But he lets himself be cuddled now.
"Bitter Sweet" is an exception in its price range, it dares a lot and does not want to please everyone. The fragrance doesn't undergo a big change in its last hours, at best it gets a little milder. The shelf life is very good.
