The perfect perfume for a conversation with your ex
Although I am actually only a silent observer here, I almost feel compelled to share my experiences with this perfume with you.
Having already heard a lot about this fragrance, especially in terms of its sillage and longevity, I couldn't resist ordering a bottle myself.
Friday:
In retrospect, the cloud of fragrance that was clearly noticeable from the still-sealed package should have made me skeptical.
Driven by curiosity and youthful recklessness, I quickly unpacked the package and activated the atomizer with a few pumps.
One (ONE!) spray on the wrist should prove to be more than enough.
First of all, the fragrance: I personally find the opening to be a pleasantly soft cappuccino note with a hint of caramel, which is joined within a few minutes by a slightly harsher coffee note.
Positively surprised by the fragrance DNA (I was expecting stronger Maggi notes based on the reviews), I packed my seven things and set off on the journey home from my 25m^2 student residence. On the way to the train station, I kept sniffing my nose to observe the scent. And well; the real hell ride began about an hour after applying the fragrance.
The carriage I was in was taken over by an omnipresent note of soy sauce, and my fellow passenger wanted to change carriages as a result. (I didn't tell her that the "scent" came from my wrist for the time being). After a more or less pleasant 30-minute train journey, I started my first attempts to contain the cloud of perfume. I washed my hands thoroughly and used disinfectant on the back of my hand - to no avail.
Resigned, I returned to my parents' house and went to bed at a late hour.
Saturday:
Still half asleep in the kitchen, I looked into the perplexed faces of my parents, who had been searching for the source of an ominous smell for 30 minutes. The whole house, but especially the area around the clothes rack with my jacket and around my bed, was haunted by the Maggi/soy sauce note.
Quick smell check on the back of my hand. Yes, still clearly noticeable.
I washed my hands about 5 times during the day and was in the shower in the evening. However, the effect in terms of odor containment was minimal.
Sunday:
With a permanent soy sauce note in my nose, I started the journey back to my student apartment. Considering what that one pump had done to my parents' house, I was nervous to find out whether the scent had now irrevocably found its way into my little room.
What can I say..
I am writing these lines exactly 53 hours after applying the fragrance to my skin. My student room smells like soy sauce. (Probably also due to the careless sprays I made in the room to activate the atomizer) The back of my hand still exudes an aroma after several washing manoeuvres that is now bringing me to the edge of my nervous stability and I have stored the 5ml sample bottle in my cellar compartment - well packed - for the time being.
Although I was still somewhat enthusiastic about the fragrance DNA in the opening, this enthusiasm has quickly faded.
Conclusion:
As a perfume enthusiast, in my opinion there is no way around at least trying out Followed by Kerosene. However, you have to be aware that you are not buying a fragrance, but a weapon that is capable of emptying rooms of people in a fraction of a second.
I also strongly recommend testing the fragrance outside and never spraying it on your own skin.
This fragrance is ideal for conversations with unloved people, revenge on an ex or for use as a bioweapon in the event of war.
