Some Mother's Boy The Strange South 2018 Eau de Parfum
1
Gasoline, Kool-Aid, and Play-Doh
Goes on as gasoline Kool-aid. Yeah, you read that correctly. Gasoline Kool-aid.
Then it moves into scotchguard territory with some cheap stryax, eventually morphing into little girl's overly-sweet flower with some aldehydes plus scotchguard. That's where the first fifteen minutes takes you -- confused, speechless, but not impressed. Unfortunately, it's not done. The fragrance eventually lands on a fresh Play-Doh smell, gradually dying away. I lost track of it after four hours.
I have to say -- this is strange, but not in a weird, gothic, compelling way, which is exactly what all the imagery and the language on the Strange South's website promise. It is creative, but completely off-putting. A bit more subtlety and effort spent creating a wearable scent instead of just an olfactory experience would have been very much appreciated.
As it stands, Some Mother's Boy ends up as just another disappointment from the Strange South.
