Mechanic - MV Agusta competitor?

I discovered @hunq_amsterdam at this year's Esxence in Milan and fell in love with the concept

Mechanic was the one scent that caught my attention immediately - extremely unique and, fitting the name, smoky, dirty, leathery at first, and then it dries down to a really nice smoky floral scent

It has a good portion of synthetic notes, but it fits the theme very well - it has a rubbery, oily sensation in the top notes that transport the feeling of being a mechanic very well

This reminds me a bit (hold your comments - only a bit!) of Xerjoffs MV Agusta. A little less 'in your face' and more unique in a way.

Is this a blind buy?
Definitely no! Sample this before getting a full size!
If you are into bad boy scents, definitely check this out!

Performance is great - easy full day wear with great Sillage
I have to mention the sprayer: It is one of the best 'shower head' type sprayers I have ever seen

When expectations are destroyed

We've all been there: you discover a fragrance on Parfumo, read through the description and fragrance pyramid and ratings, and then you have a picture in your head of what to expect.
That's how it was for me with this... um... let's say unusual fragrance from Hunq. I read it, found it exciting and ordered a sample.

To better understand my rating, I have to mention the following: I like the smell that is prevalent in subway stations near the tracks. You come down the (rolling) stairs and you smell this mixture of heavy oil, rubber abrasion, metal, electricity, etc.
Every person I tell this to just shakes their head. I can understand that. It's also a very special "preference".

So that was the expectation. And what did I get? Well, not much platform, but a lot of station toilet. The bigger the station, the more infernal the stench. And that's exactly what I smelled here after spraying it on. Yes, a bit of burnt rubber, maybe a bit of metal abrasion, but mainly urine. A hopelessly overworked cleaner tried to minimize the cloud of pee by using a cleaning agent with a violet scent. Unfortunately unsuccessful.
The whole thing got even worse when the heart note was reached. Gentlemen of creation will be familiar with these green-blue toilet stones that are placed in the urinal and are supposed to improve the smell in the cubicle. Spoiler: they don't.
Anyway, when I smelled them, I had the association of old toilet stone and violets. And pee. So a far cry from what I had imagined "Mechanic" to be.
At least the base had mercy on me. The smell of urine finally disappeared and a resinous, spicy mixture emerged, which was probably due to styrax and patchouli. Although also far from the name, it was at least pleasant to smell.

But that doesn't save the fragrance in my eyes. Seriously, even if it was a concept fragrance, who the toilet duck would want to smell like that? Maybe as an anti-fragrance to shock as many people as possible. That certainly works very well here in the first two hours. Otherwise unacceptable.

That concludes my "outing" on strange subway smells, and I'll call it a day. Cheers!
