gloame Report post Posted July 30, 2017 Vetiver and lubricant painted over distressed plastic. I didn't pick this one up, but I did test it at the Midsummer Scream yesterday. Going off my memories to help others who may find a bottle on forums/Ebay and want to try it. On first sniff, this was like a mechanic's shop. The lubricant had that... blackened with skidding tires vibe to it. It smelled like chemical smoke, you know, the kind that comes up blue instead of grey when it's burning. Howeverrrrr! On drydown, it was actually kind of lovely. I couldn't place the notes, but it smelled more... smooth and natural. Less chemical and frightening. It had a low throw, but I found it still on my skin when I got home about 7 hours later. I also think my cycle could be throwing off my interpretation of this because a lot of the Act IV Carnavals smelled like bubblegum to me yesterday, and I don't think they normally would. So take this review for what it's worth! Where I'd wear it: Talladega tailgating ;P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted August 6, 2017 Loads of smoky vetiver and a whiff of motor grease. This smells like a dirty mechanic. The type that can goes to work on your undercarriage. Of both kinds. You won't come out pristine, but I don't think you'll mind the ride. Dirty, masculine, strong. Good throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Upstart Crow Report post Posted August 9, 2017 Okay, I have a nasty cold so YMMV. But wow, this is exactly as described. Vetivert with plastic and strong chemical smoke. I love "unusual" and vetivert-heavy perfumes, but this one makes me slightly gag when I smell it up close. I'm going to hang on to it, though, to see how it ages.
