Dismal Aura of Science
Dark woods meet graphite.
The last sunlight of the day shines through green-painted grids, into the part of a university that has been abandoned since the 70s.
The scientist -with chalk in one hand and his old leather briefcase in the other- hurries past the decommissioned chemistry labs. Until he arrives at an old lecture hall. On a large board, dark, chaotic, illegible formulas are written.

A dark aura hangs over the place. What the man is doing here is known only to him. And perhaps humanity will never find out...

A scent that was included as a sample in an order, which I can’t get out of my head now. It has something extremely dark, mysterious. Like an evil scientist in his stylish and polished leather boots, whose plans and experiments are bubbling away in secret.
The perfume is truly something very special. I could never wear it personally; it just doesn’t suit me, but I still understand the other reviews.
It really hits you in a way, and on the other hand, the scent also has something very grounded, elegant. Moss-covered, smoky.

I advise against a blind purchase. Order a sample and let it work its magic!
On the right person, it unfolds an incredible magic. A niche fragrance of a special kind.

Burnt Earth with Incense Moss Under a Leather Blanket
This fragrance carries a hint of dystopia. The beginning is smoky. Smoldering forest floor is accompanied by dry leather and becomes a bit more agreeable over time. Extremely minimalist yet still encompassing and unique. It gives off something untouchable. It best suits monochrome avant-garde fashion with a lot of asymmetry and without gender. One must live and love this scent to wear it. Unfortunately, I only love it, but that's okay.

The Best of Three Worlds
The top note is, for me (with my robust taste), among the best I have ever smelled. It is a blend of "Private Label" or "Huitième Art - Monsieur," a rugged vetiver like "La Collection Privée - Vétiver" or "Vetiver Veritas," and a good smoky scent like "'A City on Fire" or "Fumoir." Each of these is an absolute favorite of mine on its own. The intense smoke of the top note diminishes relatively quickly, and the coarse, nutty woodiness becomes increasingly apparent. Today, it really reminded me of one of the two aforementioned vetivers, even though there is supposedly no vetiver in this. Since I apparently have a relatively insensitive nose, this Mad et Len also ranks below my expectations in terms of sillage and longevity. I perceive this as the small weakness of this truly very interesting brand.

Charcoal black, earthy, vetiver-smoky ink on impenetrable wood and yet somehow translucent. Initially cool, it becomes warmer.

Apocalyptic mood. Sooty stone blocks, creeping dampness, rough wood that has survived the fire. Gloomy, sad, atmospheric, beautiful.

Starts off dark and camphor-like, with an ethereal balm. Fades very quickly, leaving just a shadow of its opening. Leather deep underneath.

Cleaning chimneys, you scrape out a greasy black sludge from the corners: that's what this smells like. Not bad at all. Intense!
