Type Writer

#1734 in my “Tour de Fragrance” Got this decant from scentsplit.com. In a word, WOW! This juice is my jam! Think Mizensir “Incensum”, Olfactive Studio “Chambre Noire”, Byredo “Baudelaire”, L’Artisan Parfumer “Dzongkha”, Tom Ford “Ebene Fume”, and of course, the godfather of all men's fragrance excellence, the 2003 version of Gucci “Pour Homme.” There are less pricey scents like Molinard “Santal Insolent” that do something like this, and much less pricey scents like Fragrance World “Alpha” and “Ebony Fume”, Maison Alhambra “Incense Ebony” that do this leather-incense-papyrus combination that works so well for longevity and projection. But this scent offers stellar blending and quality. It makes a statement, and the statement is, “I like this and do not care if you don’t!” Fall and winter scent. Definitely for men. Office wear if you’re the boss or plan to be. Date wear that if you aren’t a man of accomplishment will come off pretentious. No need to bathe in it. This is an all day and into the next day scent. Best price I’m finding is $280 for 100ml which for this is not crazy, BUT, definitely get a decant and make sure this is for you before buying. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

Definitely sprays on very "avant-garde" and would probably be off-putting to a lot of people, though I like it. Smells like the insides of an old abandoned machinery factory. Once it begins to dries down, it turns into a completely delightful incense fragrance. The drydown reminds me somewhat of Jovoy's La Liturgie Des Heurs, not necessarily in the exact scent profile, but in that same sense of incense evoking a particular mysterious mood. Sillage and longevity are off the charts, also.

I thought Type Writer was not a fragrance, more of an industrial smell. But as I slowly used up my sample, I became more and more open to this perfume. Yes, it's a concept fragrance, and no, it's not really wearable, but it's an exciting piece of art and as such, quite unique. For those who like challenging fragrances!

I see either sleeping city at night, asphalt after rain, smell of gasoline and passing by cars. Or old abandoned factory, smelling of oil, dust and rubber. Anyway this fragrance is very dark, strong and bold, very industrial, at the same time animalistic and sensual (heart notes). Loved it

Amazing fragrance, absolutely uni'strong'sex. It's technically perfect, with a coherent structure - 2 sprays are enough for the whole day, and the clothes smell a divine everlasting perfume - How many compliments I get, but I don't tell anyone my secret !!
