Anatural Born Bonobo
How could this happen? You let yourself be hypnotized by bonobo eyes, you began to identify with core houses, with the last remaining scraps of apple on which powerful primates sat down and smeared you across the floor. You couldn't explain it to yourself. You were stuck in hides on your lower back with hay fibers, dust and earthy chunks, dried champaca flowers and resinous bark mulch stains. In the leathery furrows of rotten wooden stakes, you have become one with the ape house.

Anton Gerasimov, Russian Adam's younger stepbrother, made his first olfactory appearance when he created "Manly" for Areej Le Doré in 2021. Since 2022, he has been releasing his handcrafted creations made from high-quality oils under the name ATon Perfumes. On his homepage and in a YouTube video, he describes how he always tries to express his innermost feelings in his fragrances. The fact that he also uses synthetic raw materials contradicts the statement "natural artisan" on Instagram, but fits in with what he says in the YouTube clip about the creation of "Manly" as well as the vague information in the pyramid of "Animalia", with which he apparently expresses his archaic traits.
Right at the beginning, we find ourselves in the hazy atmosphere of an ape or predator house. For a few minutes, the apple is perceptible, but as if it had just been crushed by a primate, its juice smeared on the floor between hay and half-dried earth (patchouly, moss, vetiver). Gradually, a champak blossom, rather dry and brittle, joins the presumably synthetic but realistic leathery-fur-like animalic notes, making them seem more 'incensy'. Caraway could also play a role in the spices mentioned, possibly also pepper, which gives the whole a subtle smokiness. While the rather unsweet resins give the impression more depth and help to hold the picture together, the woods in the background, which initially appear mulchy and muffled, gradually begin to dry out. This thoroughly multi-layered, spicy and occasionally transparent monkey house atmosphere is sometimes very remotely reminiscent of a Prin fragrance, smells clear to moderate and lingers for well over twelve hours.
