Askew

This fragrance opens with an explosion of ginger, grapefruit and cardamom. However, as the alcohol dries on my skin the bitter birch tar and dry leather notes overwhelm the fruit notes and the fragrance is rather unpleasant when smelled close to the skin. Thankfully it quickly settles in a very harmonious grapefruit, cardamom and leather mix with a smoky vetiver base. The fragrance is very masculine, refined and exceedingly pleasant to wear from this stage on. Like Skarb, it is very linear, but has a better lasting power as well as a great sillage.

Declaration of love

For me, Askew remains Laudamiel's greatest masterpiece to this day.

It starts off aloof, with indistinct nuances that may seem almost repulsive and yet have an incredible appeal.
It is leathery, but not classic, it is indefinable, green and fresh at the same time. Birch tar breaks it up and offers a synthetically ostentatious disruptor that repeatedly creates stimuli that make you wonder whether the fragrance is good or strange.

Askew ends in a leathery freshness. Perhaps even with a little powder. The weirdness is completely gone.

I only collected compliments for the fragrance and always felt comfortable in it.

I despair that it is currently no longer available and simply cannot find a replacement.
