Black and yellow

Cobra and canary, asphalt and lemon, black and yellow. Danger, warning, does it sting? Well quite the contrary to be honest.

Some of you might have read my blog. I find leather in perfumes very interesting but very sophisticated. Same here. I’d put this in the industrial category. It has a bit of petrol/gasoline going on. It’s subtle though. Usually that sharp note starts bugging me after a while but now I just want to reapply. I believe the combination with supporting notes make it more manageable. A sour/sweet lemon, a dusty dry hay and tobacco flower. Very enjoyable. Can you associate it with asphalt? Maybe with some imagination, but if it wasn’t listed I wouldn’t.

It’s not a powerhouse. 4 sprays and you’re good to go, won’t offend anyone and enjoy for the next 8 hours at least.

Sounds honeyed powdery and by asphalt note they were trying to reproduce the scent of fresh tar they lay when making a new asphalt. It is a sweet but intoxicating chemical smell.

Tar is made of birch wood or pine wood, coal and petroleum.
