FREAKY INDUSTRIAL GOURMAND FOR GROWN-UPS!!
It’s described as an "industrial gourmand." This is a grown-up, freaky sweet treat, and I love it!
The fragrance opens with a bang. Styrax is an interesting note that comes off slightly rubbery and plasticky, reminiscent of hot asphalt. The scent evokes the image of a waffle cone ice cream crushed under a rubber boot. There's a hint of that "adult toy" scent, in the best possible way.
The vanilla has an almost cotton candy-like quality, while ylang-ylang and bergamot add fruity facets, with the bergamot introducing a hint of freshness. The ylang-ylang is creamy, with powdery custard notes and a sweet, slightly pungent banana aroma.
I would compare this fragrance to Rosendo Mateu No. 5, Vanagloria, and Babycat; it belongs to the same olfactory family.
Out of the three debut fragrances in the lineup (El Dorado, Incarnate, and Coney Island Baby), this one is the best performer. The drydown transitions into a milky, warm vanilla, reminiscent of melted ice cream. It’s not cloying or heavy, and there’s an airy quality to it. Projection is excellent, and longevity is on point. Tens, tens, tens across the board!
My only criticism is the bottle and packaging. The vintage-looking sticker on the bottle reminds me of retro condiment labels, like those used for sugar, mustard, or mayonnaise in the 1960s. I understand what they were going for — a “vintage Americana” vibe — but it doesn’t appeal to me.
