Glitch

So Assaf Glitch smells like it booted up in Microsoft safe mode and immediately chose chaos. It opens with raspberry and grapefruit doing that flirty, hyper-saturated thing like a neon lip gloss applied by a drag queen named Mimi Imfurst at 2 a.m. under the old Dallas Rose Room bathroom lighting. Sweet, tart, and just a little unhinged after three Deep Eddy cranberry vodkas. She thinks, "Oh, this is fun. This is playful." Reader, that is the lie. Ten minutes later, vetiver crashes the party like someone who insists they’re “very grounded” while absolutely not being so. Orangina Fanta blossom floats in behind it, soft, carbonated, and pristine, like it showed up to the wrong Junior League of Highland Park event entirely with pearls clutched, eyes wide, and mouth puckered, quietly judging everyone. The contrast is aggressive. Intentional. Camp. And then the base hits. Ambroxan spreads everywhere like a synthetic DJ fog machine set to “max,” announcing itself before you enter the room and lingering long after you leave. Vanilla tries to smooth things over, but this isn’t bakery Madagascar vanilla, it’s conceptual vanilla from Escentric Molecules' Iso E Super trouper beams are gonna blind you, but I won't feel blue, like I always do, 'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you. More mood than dessert. More post-apocalyptic, “I read about desserts once.” The overall effect? A glamorous system error. A perfume that smells like sweetness corrupted by confidence. Assaf Glitch doesn’t evolve so much as malfunctions stylishly. It’s loud [very loud], shiny [shiny happy people holding hands], vaguely addictive [like Deep Eddy Cranberry Vodka], and completely unconcerned with your Great Expectations [Pip Pip]. Wear this if you enjoy attention, contradictions, and fragrances that feel like they’re daring you to question your life choices while smelling oddly fabulous doing so because in shady times, let there be LIGHT! I feel Glitch has the potential to become a breakout success in the U.S. market in 2026, provided Assaf is able to secure a viable Stateside entry point into the low-end niche fragrance segment. Assaf will need to develop a distinct bottle design for the U.S. market, as I have already mistaken Glitch for one of my Liquides Imaginaires bottles on more than one occasion. TLDR? Opening: Framboise which is the Belgian lambic beer made with raspberries. Middle: Vetiver soaked in Orangina from French Algeria. Bottom: Iso E Super when it carries that vanilla-toned warmth.

Chill out kiddos with your fake votes simply based on the perfumers. Turner created my beloved Blanche Bête. Bisch created my powerhouse perfume Purpose 50. A Turner–Bisch perfume would almost certainly sit in the modern luxury niche space: technically polished, emotionally legible, and unapologetically bold. Where Turner excels at structured sensuality and refined sweetness, Bisch brings textural provocation and abstract contrast. The result would likely feel both seductive and disruptive. A fragrance that reads clearly at first encounter, then destabilizes expectations as it develops. I'm hoping it would neither lean fully into Turner’s refined crowd-pleasing elegance nor fully surrender to Bisch’s avant-garde impulses. Instead, I'm hoping it will occupy a confident middle ground: beautiful, challenging, and unmistakably modern. I'll find out soon once my blind buy bottle (purchased via Fragrantica's ebay link above) arrives from Mecca Perfumes. It's already sold out on the Assaf As If website.

It's weird! First sniff is like you opened a jar of fresh Strawberry Jam then the Cherry joins in, but after the Vetiver and White Florals show up I can't really say this a gourmand fragrance, but I can't say it isn't. I can say It is addictive! It's fluffy, airy, sweet but not too much and still grounded. At some point it's like you are sitting in a garden with the flowers, wood and dirt wafting around you while eating your berry cheesecake. And for those who dread the Ambroxan like myself, it is extremely well blended here, you won't smell it much.

To me this is a lovely fragrance, rich and well mixed. It is powerful and lasts for ages. One spray only is needed I get a DNA which reminds me of Lar Perla Possibilities although the notes are dissimilar. However I see Louise Turner had a hand in creating both Glitch and Possibilities. I dont understand the bad wraps below but realise we are all different.

What a scent!!! Love at first sniff It’s like 60-65% feminine. But its so addictive and yummy that lasts for a very long time and projects loudly . This is a niche 150ml fragrance for 50$. Phenomenal Buy it if you like sweet, yummy fragrances that smells like red fruits on the best way possible. 9,3/10

lovely fruity scent, performance is great, not a fan of vanilla but i will allow it this time

I'm thinking about what to say because the experience is not clear, but it provokes you to react. I can't say anything for sure, but you should try it, this is a contradictory perfume. You can love him and not love him at the same time. There is a "stinky frog" that provokes you to sniff until it turns into a "fragrant prince" I want to say that the perfume is intriguing. Don't buy blindly. After a few days, the impression changed completely. The first impression was IT, the smell like when you open a new desktop computer, the smell of untouched hardware, and the name that confirmed that general impression..... but, none of that is true, the intriguing smell of red wine and dark red fruits such as cherries and raspberries is what remains in the air.

To me, Glitch is a designer/ mainstream DNA engineered for maximum projection and longevity. Glitch opens with juicy raspberry and quickly transitions into a mid of clean, sweetened orange blossom and a touch of vetiver. The mid is probably the most interesting part of the fragrance, it feels sparkly and clean with a touch of woods, eventhough I would definitely prefer more vetiver and less sweetness. Once Glitch dries down you‘re mainly left with a very sweet, creamy vanilla that‘s quite loud due to the ambroxan and further fixatives. I can see how Glitch will appeal to many, but for me there‘s definitely not enough contrast or depth to make it truly special or interesting. For the price, you‘re getting something very persistent, but it doesn‘t necessarily smell memorable.

All I'm getting is an immature linear raspberry scent that smells like a glade plug in. Performance is kind of insane though. stop by for some fragrance content on my tiktok: nerolicannoli

So generic and messy I couldn’t stand it Such a disappointment 😅

This brand has been nothing but a disappointment for me. Mass production of perfumes in big volumes (usually 200ml or 150ml) to trick people into buying + they spend a hell of money on influencers to hype up their cheap smelling perfumes. This terrible quality creation is an insult to a genius perfumer like Quentin Bisch - it's sad that he would put his reputation on the line for money. Synthetic, no character, lacks depth, smells so cheap and generic.

I had high expectations for Glitch by Assaf, but unfortunately, it falls short in several areas. First, the opening is quite chaotic—there’s no clear direction or identity. The notes feel mismatched, almost like multiple ideas competing rather than blending. Instead of evolving smoothly, it comes across as confusing and slightly synthetic. Performance is another letdown. For a niche-style fragrance, I expected strong projection and longevity, but it fades quicker than anticipated and sits too close to the skin after a short time. The dry down doesn’t redeem it either. It becomes flat and somewhat generic, lacking the depth or signature that would make it memorable. Overall, Glitch feels more like an experimental concept than a polished fragrance. Interesting idea, but the execution isn’t there. Rating: 5/10

I agree with Dr.Waleed The fragrance is confusing, no identity and harsh fruity notes It changes note dramatically and heart and dry down but still does not impress you I got the hype around as it is all paid ones :) like 95% of dupes market

@EPTrail I love your description. The chao of it all perfectly embodies the name of the fragrance...Glitch.
