L'Anonyme ou OP-1475-A

Three distinct fazes with this effort from A Lab on Fire the first is a bergamot lush and almost green. Then comes the geranium which is the accord basis for this fragrance and builds well, complimenting the base. The base is a soft powdery leather or suede but still fresh all the time. I don't necessarily agree that it's minimal because it has a distinct opening, heart and drydown which progress. L'Anonyme has well balanced and complimentary ingredients which kinda is minimal but hints at other sweeter notes. I like it, it's very wearable pretty good longevity, projection is okay at first then dies down. Check it out, there's not a great deal here not to like.

This one is my favorite from the discovery set. It’s the most masculine fragrance in the lineup, and I would classify it as a modern fougère. If a guy is looking for something in the “clean girl” vein, this would be the perfect starting point for a “clean guy” trend. Even though it smells clean, citrusy, and musky, it’s far from boring. It has a luxurious feel and never comes across as basic. Although it leans masculine, it can absolutely be worn by women as well arguably even more sexy on a woman, since it feels unexpected and intriguing.

I just got my bottle in the mail yesterday and I must say packaging was very cutting edge. This fragrance opens with a small hint of bitter citrus that does not stay long. After a few mins the geranium starts to show its face. The basenotes reveal themselves shortly after and give this fragrance a woody nuance with an almost creamy texture from the suede. Overall I would give this an 8 out of 10 as far as first impression. If this house can continue to release frags of this quality they will eventually become a force in this industry.

So clean, so beautiful...I only have a smaple vial of this fragrance so I can't definitively say how this would be in a spritz bottle, but for me in this vial it is SO close to the skin with so little sillage and longevity that I'd be mad to purchase it on this experience with it alone. If it had more sillage it'd be an ultimate favorite, it's that good otherwise. I'm in mourning because I want it so badly but can't justify it.

Fresh green citrusy and almost tangy opening. And for some reason the geranium hit me with a wave of nostalgia. Having looked at the perfumes containing geranium on Fragrantica, my only other experience of this note is Gucci Guilty (her) 2019. L'anonyme marks the moment it becomes one of my favorite notes! Drydown is musk with a blurry suede which is soaked in the top notes. Definitely unisex. Olfactory magic!
