cruising-area

cruising-area is fascinating - I absolutely love it I don’t get the gasoline others mention, but the medicinal facet is definitely there - to me it perfectly captures the atmosphere of a well-known gay hammam in Paris: intimate, steamy, and spicy 🥵 that said, it’s almost too clean - for something named after a cruising spot, I expected a bit more filth — a trace of latex, a lactic undertone, maybe even a hint of marine or sweat - it's seductive, but it lacks that edge of decadence - too polite for the name it wears - still, I recommend it and I’m seriously considering a full bottle - I’ll try the other samples from the collection first to see if one goes even deeper

Opens with patchouli and spices along with some dry wood Musty and moldy notes take over then - such of an old cellar that was closed and damp for a while As this settles patchouli and some spices along with resins and wood emerge So basically we have a musty earthy cellar but it is also filled with patchouli and spices

This feels like the cruising area is the bathroom of a museum. Deep wood resins and realistic oil-painting smell combined with the dense sharpness of a tile cleaner. The patchouli note balances it perfectly. I'm obsessed.

cold mildewy walls, condensed humidity and strooooong patchouli. I dislike the applicator, but it's my absolute favourite sorcinelli fragrance. I think it's a well-balanced unusual but very wearable everyday perfume!

The smell of walking through a graveyard at night just after the rain, love. My only complaint is the roll on ball bottle, really wish it was a spray.
