Ultrahot

I don't understand why so many hate on this fragrance. I like it. Reminds Tuskan Leather without raspberry

For leather and incense lovers. Not for me. More for a man and for fall and winter. I will not wear it, not my cup of tea. 5/10

Crystal Saffron done cheaper and less obnoxious.

A candidate for the mis-named perfumes list. Ultrahot is supposed to evoke incense burning on hot metal. I get musky, cardboardy Iso E Super. Everything else is a bit nondescript. A mild, indistinct frankincense shows on skin. The hot metal note (habanolide is listed) is like walking into a room heated a few hours ago by a two-bar electric fire rather than anything sheer or particularly metallic. Maybe I'm partly anosmic to this aromachemical. Incense sometimes has that metallic facet for me anyway. I don't get much of the leather or saffron on my skin either, they're present but feel as though they've checked out. It's all a bit too muted to be as edgy as I think it would like to be. So in a nutshell unmemorable but it's good to try these things. From the same perfumer that brought you Versace Eros and Gucci Guilty !

Elemi and atlas cedar in the opening give a kind of piney, lemony, balmy resin effect. This subsides into a kind of plasticy, saffron leather accord which isn't very pleasurable. Then after hours when it's almost completely gone it smells sweetly of vanilla. (worth noting I was surprised as there's no vanilla noticeable for the first several hours) I don't like this fragrance and I hadn't seen the formula for it, nor had I read any notes. Very intriguing that everything you smell is in here (according to Fragrantica) ...that's rare. So perhaps this is a masterful work showing all those materials and properties off? I didn't particularly enjoy it though.
