Dark Dreams

Personally, I love this perfume; my coworkers love it and my parents absolutely hate it. That initial hit of safron and gasoline is a personal match made in heaven. Perhaps it is just my skin chemistry but I don't pick up much of the citrusy notes as is displayed on the notes; if not that then a slight hit of bergamont. Fragrence in general leans towards masculine. I'm about a third through my bottle and have used it daily for the past few months.

As a kid who sniffed way too many permanent markers, this scratches an itch I can't describe but gives me the same feeling.

Like hugging your mom and then going into your dad's greasy workshop. Love it.

Kids who loved the smell of gasoline and lemon pledge this one is for you

I didn’t get the gasoline accord, which initially left me a bit disappointed. To my nose, this feels about 90% similar to Liquid Skin, sharing a very similar cypriol-heavy dry down. Interestingly, the fragrance I ended up buying from the house Lost Chemistry actually has a realistic gasoline nuance coming from its oud note, even though it’s not listed as an accord. This one, however, is less bitter, and the addition of citrus and saffron makes it much more wearable in my opinion. It’s just sweet enough with a pleasant sillage. Despite what some comments suggested, I don’t get any “lemon pledge” or gasoline here—just a really nice, unique Middle Eastern–style take on citrus.
