A toilet, I might add, that reeks to high heaven of many days of piss, uncleaned toilets festering in a small stuffy, airless hot cubicle, which they have attempted to cover up with some sort of harsh floral scented bathroom deodoriser.

@@miracleyacht__1538 Kyoto is more “wearable” than Avignon. Avignon is much more churchy incense with smoke such as a more lit incense and Kyoto is a touch sweeter. Both are great though and maybe sample both first. Kyoto and Avignon are definitely the best out of the incense line.

[@JM12044]

By wearable I mean safer. Especially if we’re talking about an office setting.

[@MenchieExtrakt]

I haven’t tried the weird perfumes you’ve mentioned, but tried a bunch from Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs. They sometimes don’t even list the notes,’instead they use stories, poems, and scenes. For Halloween last year, I got All of their heads fell off, Carved wooden alchemy lab, the Witches have a fire again, and Snooty Bat. Very interesting experiment. They’re a gothic brand found in 2000. Their perfume oils are like below $30, so it’s more accessible than regular perfumes. They’re also really fun, not taking themselves too seriously, with perfumes like Vampire Milk, Traditional Sheet Ghost, or Vintage Pumpkin Blow Mold.

[@zoethebear]

Secretions is different when it’s on your skin. It starts out and you’re not sure what’s happening. As it fades down, it becomes almost ocean-y but funky and then it’s like rusted metal and milk and pennies. I enjoyed this content. Love the Slint cover (?) at the end.

[@SixBowlSage]

no way you put it on.

[@zoethebear]

I totally did. I’m not saying I’d ever wear it, but there are some points when it smells quite good. If only it didn’t stay on you for a week after. If you haven’t, you should review the Alaska Thunderf••k fragrance. She’s a drag queen from Drag Race. I think more people need to know about it. It’s like a high end frag for an insanely good price. I wear it as my signature scent now with Gucci Rush as a secondary.

[@peacebone420]

You really need to let the fragrance dry down for like 30 sec to a min before goin right in and smelling them and then come back after an hour to smell the dry down because the dry down is the most important part of the frag cause you live with the dry down more than the opening.

[@ayewhaddupdoe]

That part. I'll tough through some really ugly openings for a good dry down.

Not to torment you further but this video was really entertaining and I think there are some less unpleasant but equally weird frags you could continue the series with. Some that come to mind are Ganymede, T-Rex (you mentioned), some of the ultra-specific Demeters (like the first responder perfume, the astronaut/space one, etc). I enjoy some edgy niche frags just to sniff them when I'm bored -- like Zoologist Bat, the current formulation -- but it's just funnier having someone else review them before I waste cash on a sample.

I actually have the But Not Today flacon and I do not find it that extreme. Strong leather smell, not that metallic to me, some musky notes underneath. Maybe it just works well with my skin but I really like wearing it (whereas e.g. patchouli absolutely doesn't work for me, although I like it on others).

Umbre it’s an slightly animalic coffee fragrance with warm resinous nuances and a bit of tobacco. So it a bit sweet on its drydown. I find it very easy to wear, very nice. It doesn’t smell like war or blood or bullets lol. But not today it’s inspired by the scene in the Silence of the Lambs when Hannibal Lecter tells Clarice: “You use Evyan skin cream, and sometimes you wear L'Air du Temps, but not today”. It’s daring but not as repulsive as it might seem. Kinda old school old lady fragrance. Secretions Magnifique is not that horrible. Just unwearable, smells very metallic, but milky and salty at the same time. Just a funny fragrance but nothing to wear.
