Bears club smell
The door is one of the weirdest perfumes i have ever tried. It is very original and different and also difficult to wear. It is very plástico and animalic and i get a Big difference between the opening and the dry down.
The opening is for me a very difficult smell. It is very animalic, with a mix of sweat, glue and látex smell, and i think i get also some poppers smell in the mixture.
The dry down is, however, a bit easier to wear and much nicer for me. The dry down is less animalic, the sweat smell dissapear and It appears a very noticeable plástic and látex smell. The leather becomes also more noticeable.
If you have been any time into a bears fetish night club the opening of the perfume is wxactly this scent. This mix of sweat, leather, látex and popers makes remember a lot the times i have been un this type of clubs. I dont think honestly i could wear this perfume but is very good and interesting as olfactive experience and i think It can have easily a place on any perfumes collection.
The performance is good, It has good longevity and moderate sillage, even intense at the opening. The opening for me is very masculine but the drydown is totally unisex, even a bit like tuscan leather by Tom ford, but more sinthetic and animalic and less sweet.

Peppermint chewing gum
Curiously, The Door reminds me of a peppermint chewing gum. What do I think of that? At least it's not bad! It lasts around 10 hours on my skin with a moderate sillage.

As I can always perceive certain aromas, I can't really get any further with a top, heart or base note. The scent is predominantly refreshing, synthetic, greenish-herbaceous, leathery, smoky, animalic, spicy and woody. I sniff out aromas of peppermint chewing gum, saffron, nutmeg, allspice, black tea, palo santo, sandalwood, suede and styrax.

The Door is definitely not a run-of-the-mill fragrance and is different. I would like to thank Kamyar for the bottling.

With her head in the shoe closet
For countless thoughts the door was closed, I had forgotten it, now it is open and I am a child. Only a little light wants to fall into this workshop, it creeps through the windows behind wooden shelves, the dust and the remains of the smoke of a dead tobacco pipe turn in it. Backlit is the face of an old man, bent over a bucket of glue, gluing heels onto old leather boots, still oozing from the shelves at first, like glue on new rubber soles and Tierowa shoe grease in a vice.
His cup bears traces of black tea, the English kind, here still with notes of hay and the glow of smoky vetiver, on the rims, the handle, the hands. People he doesn't like at all, usually try to talk to him, sometimes leave tiny clouds of musk among the leather, maybe pheromones even, probably wouldn't stand out here.
Never does he look me in the face, not even a word do I remember, just the smell of his workshop. Sometimes I have to think of him when I stick my head in a shoe closet. Behind that door, after six hours, it's over, the memory smudging a cloth of musk.

(With thanks to Gschpusi)

this looks to me like a box with new leather shoes where the glue of the sole and the solvents to treat it still smells. very artistic.

A slightly challenging and smoky, yet powdery and sweaty/animalic (rubbery-)synthetic fragrance, balanced by a gentle leathery-woody base.
