Metal Chypre

Diddy wah diddy! Me likey! This is one amazing piece of olfactory art. I knew from the name of this mysterious beast that this would be the JHAG scent for me, after trying a sample kit of their more entry level work. The scent of Metal Chypre is exactly what is described. At first spray, it will smell like you have suddenly turned into a copper pipe. This bizarre effect lets you know that you're in the presence of a magical perfume. The metallic notes do not last forever though. After a while, they settle down, as you stop being a copper pipe, and turn into an exquisite, cuddly jumper. Metal Chypre defines the word juxtaposition. Metallic, cold and rock hard at first, then soft, warm and comforting after it settles down. This scent doesn't care about what you want, or who you claim to be. It's metal tones obliterate anything you thought you knew about perfumery. Then, the chypre notes will glide up your nose like a silky-smooth latte does down your gullet. Perfection 10/10. The perfect hard/soft experience in a single perfume.

Metal Chypre is a really curious fragrance from JHAG. This is fresh patchouli and syrupy iris on opening with a hint of crystalline sweetness, then it dries down to something quite raw. On inhaling, this really dries the nasal passages. It's like sniffing the vapor from parched pavement on a hot day, but infused with a touch of sweetness and soil-like minerality from irises and violets victoriously emerging from between the concrete cracks. The suede note is suggestive of the texture of the perfume. Nice chypre, dry and avant garde with some feeling of dulled pyrite filings if I give in to the name's suggestion. This one feels as though it would effectively dehydrate your sinuses if you were feeling a little foggy. Oddly clarifying. Big like sauntering into love.

Juliette Has A Gun Metal Chypre is a beautiful fragrance - although it’s neither particularly ‘metal’ nor ‘chypre’; and I’m not sure about the alleged ‘suede’ accord either. Instead, this is all about iris, white musk, ambroxan and some subtle fresh patchouli. None of these notes really stand out - the whole point is that this fragrance simply melts on one’s skin and makes its wearer feel as if they were born smelling good! In that sense, this is a rather ‘neutral’ fragrance, very much in the vein of the entire ‘not-a-perfume’ aestetics. Longevity is outstanding and projection way above average.

Luxurious and sharp like a cold blade... a very nice parfum. I really like iris,the suede note is very particular and gives the scent a touch of refinement but is also trendy and modern. In the background the white musk blends with the ambroxan, continuous contrasts. I personally like it a lot,and I'll keep it in mind for the winter, maybe wearing a wool or cashmere sweater =),. Nice parfum! Sillage: 7./10 Longevity: 8.5/10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 9/10

got a free 1ml sample of it with my recent order from Decant X. it's actually pretty good. one of the few floral fragrances i enjoy. the musk and amber notes make it much more masculine than other floral scents. but, i think women could pull this off, too. it's very unisex
