Quality Of Flesh

I can only agree with Miguel Matos who claimed this must be in the top 10 of new fragrances released in 2015. It is definitely a very sexual scent and no doubt masculine and highly physical. It ́s truly animalistic and resembles the scent of sweaty, intoxicated, naked bodies. Quite like a seedy gay leather bar with that dense, loaded atmosphere of booze, cigarette stubs and sexual tension. Spotted, dirty and worn out carpets and leather furniture. Once you step out of this bar, onto the street, the fresh air strikes you as a contrast. Quality of Flesh captures the moment BEFORE you open the door... A bit heady, too much can make one dizzy. Not a mainstream fragrance, but I feel challenged by the fact that it ́s quite demanding to wear. What I really love about it is that it has captured the dark and forbidden world of male carnal desire in a most convincing way. Not that perfume necessarily has a natural place in that underground world, but because that scene may simply smell just like that on its own; dirty, tantalizing, nauseating at times, but magnetic!!! Like a male version of Tannhäuser ́s Venusberg! With this scent you can bring this underground world up into daylight, knowing the depths from where it came... Enjoy! I just ordered my back-up bottle! I will not risk being without this gem!

This is incredible! An animalic fragrance made right. Sultry styrax and leather, heavy dose of civet, and a beautifully rendered costus note adds ambery facets creating a scent of primal sexual tension. Not for the faint of heart, but for a hardcore fragrance lover only. I've wanted hardcore animalistic fragrances like this forever now. Dior's Leather Oud was my mainstay but now that Quality Of Flesh has come along this is only but a masterpiece worth wearing even more. The performance is insane, lasts for days after spraying. Amazing! 10/10

Oh this is good! Comes across a bit like a lovechild between Roja's fetish x leather oud(the proper first release 😜) I own & love both of these. I could see why folks might not appreciate this but If your used to a bit of filth & skank it'll be a walk in the park. I don't find it nearly as controversial as some of the comments might suggest. Great performance all round. 👍

It's very interesting and undeniably beautiful, but I must admit that it makes me a little bit ill from the top notes.

A few reviewers here wrote this was a very unpleasant smell, its opening even a bit 'fecal'. One reviewer even stated: “I hope to never smell this again.” Seriously? I wish I had that sensation because I like brutal fragrances. But none of it all. For me, this perfume starts in a slightly sweet manner, turns into the smell of paint, and shortly after that it's like I'm hanging above a basket of freshly ground pepper. I say: What’s not to like? Also there’s this hint of steel which makes this scent kind of dirty. And I like that. On the downside: on my skin this scent is a bit shallow. And after all the reviews I had hoped it to be more ‘dirty’ than just a hint of steell. So in the end Quality of Flesh lacks the distinctiveness I am looking for.
