Carambolage

For fans of titane and cronenberg's crash. Genuinely smells like asphalt in the opening but... in a good way? Dry down brings out a black pepper, slightly spiced note that layers well with other spicy scents (I wear it with the ginger-forward Erotikon from pigmentarium)

Yup. Smells like a car crash :) car pneumatics, burnt metal and gasoline in the distance. 10/10 excellent olfactory representation of witnessing a crash up close.

Very smokey opening, but in a very sharp clean way, like i've been standing next to a lasercutter all day, watching it cut the wood pieces for my master degree architecture project. It does have a bit of green and red floral sweetness from the rhubarb, but it's definitely smokey first and foremost. Then the smokiness calms down and it just smells... luxurious but in the way where I'm still the architect student, now at my parents place eating a quality dinner, sitting in their expensive curated furniture, an iykyk way of living, not flashy. Has an edge and is confident, still sort of fresh, mature, but not old or dusty in any way. It projects a lot in the beginning just with one spray for me, and exists in the room for a good while. Does kind of lean masculine but still unisex appropriate.
