Realistic in all the worst ways

Stale, burnt popcorn lightly flavoured with disinfectant. Like the inside of a trash can at a state fair, or the built-up grime on 90's neon arcade carpets. Cinema seats that have been wiped down, but never properly cleaned.

I will give it props in that it does, indeed, smell like the movies - and like the packaging promises, firmly of the "b-grade slasher flick" genre - but I'm echoing reviews elsewhere in that this is unwearable. Transportive, and I'm glad I tried it, but unwearable. The fragrance itself just feels rough - sharp and chemical, with a weird plastic note that underlines the whole thing. Arguably the plastic works in the context of what it's trying to deliver, but on skin it just turns sour and "off".

Would work as a room spray for when you really want your home theatre to feel authentic.
