Yohji Essential Yohji Yamamoto 1998 Eau de Toilette

... maybe sometime last week.
It doesn't get much dirtier than this, but let's start from the beginning.
I tear off the last cardboard shell from the still virgin Yamamoto sample; (the packaging alone is an origami masterpiece) ((I wonder if Hasi made it herself and if she should have outgrown this phase)). I press the sprayer and will probably never forget this uniquely, insanely intense, crazy top note: burnt cable with raspberry topping! Yes! Exactly my thing! I spray again right after (to extinguish the burn).
Give it time, I think to myself, and as I catch myself still thinking this after three hours, it's clear, Yoschi will be a long-term project.
A nasty hairspray note doesn't let go, but we learned from Kankuro that this could alternatively be white musk. No sweetness! It always stays in the green area, so galbanum sets the tone, but never completely masks the roughly processed fruitiness. Towards the end, it becomes creamy, not milky, and smells incredibly delicious and expensive. (which it is)
