Deviant

Syrupy, sweet, thick, smooth, alluring, sexy. Slight animal touches of wax - makeup like in profile, balanced with a sexy suede, and a boozy but non-distracting agarwood accord to just round the scent and make it more devilishly deep and arousing. Deviant is Fruity, piquant, juicy and fresh with a slight sweet thickness of a plum, a peach, or Maraschino cherry that as been soaking in simple syrups. It carries a bitter tartness from the fruit’s skin and a sweet freshness from the fruit’s sugars and simple syrups mixing together. In a way it could smell like strawberry or cherry hard candy. A very adult and provocative fragrance that will elevate your charm and say much more about you than just hot passion... I can see people hating this one and calling it a synthetic, horrid, sweet bomb, calling the perfume itself a “whore”. I love it!!🤣 However to me this is blended to perfection. Even the lipstick nature exists here. All of its artistic notes are displaying themselves correctly and in harmony and its POTENT strength and longevity being a purposeful asset in this composition that finally concludes the story. Spray once! Extremely unique and artistic. I can imagine wearing this with a confident energy will make people despise you and judge you out of jealousy because they feel inferior about their own sex life. Weak at the knees... Something about this makes me... I’m not going to say it... But there’s something in this that is like an aphrodisiac for me that has impacted me like no other fragrance. There was however a black tea fragrance a woman wore was also quite attractive but I forgot to ask. Deviant smells as if I had smelled this on a woman before but I don't know how or where. You are dirty-minded, kinky, rebellious and playful while simultaneously being intimidatingly attractive and forthright. You enjoy the way you manipulate and disarm people with how you carry yourself and dress. You subconsciously want someone to challenge and dominate you, so you can finally satisfy your sexual hunger. Are you trashy? Are you the boss...? Will you play nicely? The very thought of you is an enigma and frustratingly arousing. 9.5/10

Deviant reminded me of about 3 or 4 different scents I have sampled over my time, and each of those 3 or 4 scents (in addition to this one) either came close to making the grade or only just made the grade. There’s a LOT of the MFK ‘aide’, so to speak about this. A dirty rose-patch with smoke and stank, but by and large what this scent is all about is beautiful and pleasant with a smidge of muck. Just enough muck to make office-scent disciples think twice, and not enough muck to make beast-mode disciples NOT consider it. It straddles that middle region and doesn’t venture too far into either of the territories, making for a very select, narrow Venn-diagram region. For me, the stank is there, and the sweet is there, but just for me and where I am in my ‘scent journey TM’, I’ve either come to this too late (as in, I’ve tried similar scents to this one and decided upon my one ‘this trope’ scent), or, this one was released after I made my choice on the matter. I would recommend this to ANYONE, as it appeals to a wide swathe of people, but I don’t know if these people would prefer something else... I pivot between ‘I love this!’, and “I love this, but...” – I’m gonna have to give it a second shot, possibly live in it, but at the moment there seems to be too much uncertainty for me to blindly decide one way or the other... ***EDIT*** This was my SOTD yesterday, and I loved the funky-animalic elements mingling with the fruity-sweet parts, but for me, there was a bit of a 'digested foodstuffs' note that popped around and lingered for a bit -- if, indeed, this farty element is part of the scent itself, then I will NOT be going for it, however, if that was something completely detached from the scent itself, then I see myself taking this a little further. I will need to try this one out again, to be 100% sure, but I did like what I smelt, truth be told...

Vibe : Rich, fruity, sweet, mildly Floral over a bed of leather and incense Context : when you open the horween top grain infused with wax leather handbag of a very rich old classy woman who has been carrying that purse for many years so it has been infused with the smell of all her lipsticks she carries or rich Floral handlotions and maybe at times a few broken crayons of her grandkids which smeared the inner liners of her bag and now creates a mixed aura of richness, sensuality, old money, class, kindness, grace, elegance... This does somewhere reminds me of Lamar by Kajal but that's a very caramel rose 🌹 with hints of juicy pineapple at top.. This is not exactly the same but the overall imagery is in the same ballpark.. This does have more leather in its mid and base and holds back on the rose but amps up on the fruity red berries atop. It does have that waxy lipsticky aura lurking in its entire structure and does create a very Sensual and sexy alluring vibe Rating Sillage :9/10 Longevity :10/10 Scent uniqueness : 8/10 Value : 8/10( I bought from discounters so didn't pay full retail price of €150)

I think the name of this fragrance is misleading. It is a powerful scent that has many strong notes but they do not clash are not notes that uncommon in thousands of fragrances. The femme fetale the house describes as inspiration is an iconic noir figure. Many fragrances have tried to invoke it. That being said, the fragrance itself is a strong, powerful, and beautiful fragrance. There are many fruit notes but the leather is a vital part as are the rose and oris root. The scent is labelled feminine but to my nose it could work its magic on a man too. It unfolds over hours and I am intoxicated with the blend of notes. This is not a daytime scent, too much silage and too many strong notes. It is a creature of the night but not anything to be afraid of. If you are trying to make a statement, however, I think you will without too much worry others might take offense. More like jealousy.

Oh my lord....this perfume is incredible!! I could smell it from the sample before I even sprayed it, it’s so powerful and I could already tell I was going to like it but once I sprayed it, good gracious this is stuff is AMAZING!! It is mega-potent, very opulent, a giant pink/red fruity leather lipstick, loaded with raspberry and rose and sweetened with vanilla, and there is a grape note that makes it extra delicious. There is tobacco and a touch of oud so it’s not as girly as it might sound, it’s more dominatrix than ditzy. Even though it’s got all this yummy sweetness, there is also a lipstick element with orris and an almost Arabian feel in the background. This is a GIANT perfume and it feels like it throws across a room, a 1-2 spray max type scent. But it’s just so sweet, leathery and delicious!! Big love here!! Wowzers!!
