With all due respect, you're wrong-- this beauteous vanila-animalic surpasses all even loose comparisons from "Absolute Aphrodisiac | Initio" to "Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" to "Oud Satin Mood (Extrait de Parfum) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" to "AddictiveArts - Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic | Clive Christian" to "Slowdive | Hiram Green". It's warm, rustic, swell, svelte, intense, sweet, sensual, romantic, erotic, and inoffensive all at once. it's a perfect fragrance surpassed for me in love only by "Salome | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" and "Stercus | Orto Parisi" and maybe "Horizon | Oriza L. Legrand" and "Unutamam | Nishane" and "Oud Satin Mood (Extrait de Parfum) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" and "The Lover's Tale | Francesca Bianchi" yet is distinctly more pure than any of those-- with no challenge and perfect blending it feels even more natural and 3D than the already very natural "Salome | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" or "Hyde | Hiram Green" for example. a true love-- haven't tried vintage but the current issue is a 10 anyways

The title might surprise you— but fear not

This feels so classy!

With its big aldehydic peach note up against leather— it feels like the guerlain family could have accidented into this fragrance

Yet it’s utterly modern

I’m proud of this world that this fragrance exists

It’s almost a "Ombre Nomade | Louis Vuitton" or "Sapphire Collection - London | Widian / AJ Arabia" or "Tuscan Leather (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" or type fragrance but with a distinct more patron and melancholic feel

It’s truly beautiful— a fruity-leathery-bitter-smoke chypre that might be seen on Rick Owens’ or Boris Bidjan Saberi’s person.

Thus it is a love!!

This is an Allen Ginsberg/T.S. Eliott/ William Blake/Anne Carson/Charles Bukowski/Anne Sexton/Adrienne Rich poem as a fragrance. Let me explain: this perfume has as many bloody and sexual scenes as anything I could think of— but that same sensual hyraceum is also somehow an alternate frakinscence and myrrh. I’ve always found hyraveum, despite its reputation for extreme challenge to be an easier animalic than civet or castoreum to take. In fact try this if you like "Series 3: Incense - Kyoto | Comme des Garçons" or "Series 2: Red - Sequoia | Comme des Garçons" type resin or even "Jubilation XXV Man | Amouage" or even in a weird way "AddictiveArts - Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic | Clive Christian" or even "Unutamam | Nishane" or "Horizon | Oriza L. Legrand"

This is basically the title of this review with a ton of Laphraoig 10 thrown in. But that’s great!! I’m a mezcal drinker and this a like a Vieux Carré with Tobàla Mezcal, Laphroaig 25, and George T stagg rye all at once. It’s probably the only cocktail or booze perfume I’ll ever need cause it’s so unique.

This is for people who order Aviations, Torontos, Last Words, Corpse Reviver #2 and Vieux Carré.

But I also want to push back— 13-30 year olds can wear this fragrance no problem- you are prob just an emo or theater kid.

This is a fave for sure

To me this feels like a fragrance that’s never been done before! The caramel, castoreum and herb combo is bracingly fougère like in the beginning (old school fougère with almost a leather-glue-ice texture — becomes like an Amouage "Overture Man | Amouage" comes to mind, or maybe a normalized "Interlude Man | Amouage" ) in the middle and by the end becomes an animalic gourmand akin to a mix of "Fucking Fabulous / Fabulous (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" and "Absolute Aphrodisiac | Initio"

All in all a brave fragrance that I think honestly any young emo or goth would love this— I could totally see this being an on-stage fragrance for anything from MCR to the cure.
