Your skin is soft, but your hands are covered in paint
Flesh initially caught my eye by name alone. While Flesh may be a simple word, it communicates something slightly more animalic and feral than the more commonly used term "skin" (or skin scent) does. However that is, ultimately, not what you'll find here.
Paint aside, Flesh is beautifully soft and mildly sweet skin scent - once you arrive at the dry-down, that is. Until you get to that point, Flesh is heavily dominated by the paint note that no doubt would've caught your eye when skimming the notes. It is strong, it is present, it is - well, paint. The type of paint I found in Flesh reminds me of spray-painting furniture in my grandparent's dusty storage room back when I was a child and desperately craved a color other than plain oakwood. It fills your nose and seems to coat the mucous membranes within, not unlike the way the paint itself coats whatever you've chosen to subject to it's spray.
Paint remains Flesh's most dominant note for the first hour, after which it mellows out significantly and allows the remaining notes of the fragrance to peek through. Over time, these other notes overtake the paint, until, eventually, you arrive at Flesh's final form: soft, mildly sweet, comforting skin. On my skin, none of the remaining notes overtake one another, instead blending beautifully into what is, genuinely, one of my favorite skin scents I've tried to date.
It's worth noting that I don't detect any civet in Flesh whatsoever. Flesh is very light once you've arrived at the dry down stage, with little warmth or richness to it. Instead, it's powdery and airy, soft and gently sweet, and rather feminine (in my personal opinion).
Ultimately, if you enjoy skin scents and aren't afraid of staining your skin with a touch of spray paint, I would highly recommend giving Flesh a try. But please, do sample - this isn't going to be enjoyable for everyone.
