SLUT
Aaron Terence Hughes (2019)

Chemical nose needles pierce the furthest reaches of my olfactive senses the very instant Mrs. Tin applied this sauce.

If the artist's message was that anyone who enjoys current, low rent mall counter offerings should be labeled this, then I guess Mission Accomplished, but this is a complete disaster in my opinion.

And the chem-fog lasted well into the next morning, with a headache inducing ice pick going straight to the brain.

Please take this artist's license away, even if a mass mockery event.

This opens up Sweet but very fresh.
And that's how it stays, sweet Strawberry that stays with the citrus and neroli.
Summer fresh that hangs on to the skin. Fantastic stuff.

Overall scent 9.5-10
Performance 9.4-10
Sillage 9-10

For context, I'm not experienced in the fragrance world, have a relatively poor sense of smell, have no concept of the scent compounds and most certainly can't articulate their smell...

But I really like this.

Simply put, to my nose it's a cross between Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino and Joop but it's much more than that. It has a weight, a depth, a richness. It lasts all day and gets noticed too.

Different enough for people to ask what I'm wearing but safe enough not to be put off when trying for the first time.

I'd buy this again.
