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!

Hyper-modern,charismatic,unique! a perfectly unisex perfume for those who like to be fashionable,and love to differentiate themselves. This is a very nice fragrance, it is clean,delicate but can be noticed. An almost "chameleonic" scent, I was very surprised, and I'm happy to have it in my collection! Very beautiful!! Sillage: 7./10 Longevity: 8./10 Scent: 9./10 Overall: 9./10

semi groovy little thing that is - finally got it from my dealer in germany- thanks for that --- btw, what is salty for you asilverfire in olfactive terms? overall way toooo clean to fresh to nice too unedgy... expected much much more from them - shame nobi has gone!!!

This was actually very intriguing to me! It's a little salty, slightly musky, with warm suede underneath and a pinch of geranium on top. I don't really pick up the bergamot. It is also more feminine than I expected. Longevity is decent - about 4 to 5 hours.

A bizarre, unique, avant-garde perfume; I'd expect nothing less from A Lab on Fire. L'Anonyme is first and foremost a bergamot-geranium fragrance, which is a bit of a strange combination. Geranium is medicinal and a bit metallic, whereas bergamot is one of the most acidic citruses in perfumery. Making them the stars of the show is a bit like pairing a colatura soprano with a spinto soprano in an opera: two high voices vying for attention, one dextrous and multifaceted, and another a bit thinner but with great force. If it weren't for the other light touches (the suede and amber), this would be too sharp and cloying. As it is, though, they do find an uneasy harmony, an almost fruity brass-colored tone with a hint of sweet vibrato. Later, L'Anonyme dries down to something almost pasticky yet still refreshing. There is absolutely nothing else like this out there right now; it's hard to believe this was created by Olivier Polge, considering how he usually errs on the side of mainstream chic. This is a very futuristic, almost robotic fragrance, completely androgynous and ageless, and perhaps not for the faint of heart. Better in warm weather.

I found this on sale along with Rose Rebelle Respawn, and decided to take a chance on a blind buy. The opening is fresh floral astringent geranium and bergamot, and I found it nice and refreshing. Started out very unisex and even androgynous or futuristic, as other reviewers have mentioned. But as it settled it felt increasingly feminine on me and started to lose its edge a little. The woody suede comes in softly during dry down but never really took up much space on me. I have a very sensitive nose so I am usually super conservative with application, but for this I came home from a walk feeling like I could have gone harder. This is the first perfume I’ve owned where a big wrist spritz wasn’t enough to keep me throughly aware of its presence. Even so, I really like it and feel like it slots nicely into my collection of niche unisex perfumes. I have a lot leaning woody/gourmand/aromatic, so the freshness and “clarity” of L’Anonyme is a welcome addition.

Geranium is the star of the show here. A fresh dose of geranium and bergamot in the opening, the bergamot then fades away, and the suede note will become more imminent. It supports the slightly metallic geranium, smoothening the overall tone. You will be able to smell all the notes listed; simple but well thought of. A nice, fresh and minimal fragrance for a spring day. The performance is a little low, with about 5 hours longevity and lower than moderate sillage. Nevertheless, would say this is priced rightly, even better if found for discount.

On paper this is a simple composition, but geranium is such a shape-shifter that "L'Anonyme ou OP-1475-A" ends up feeling much more dimensional than its minimal notes would suggest. It's an open and clean, paper-origami-like scent, but the geranium is assertive and is by turns aromatic, floral, masculine, and feminine. There's a base of warm suede and amber, but the focus remains on that kaleidoscopic geranium. There's nothing dirty or sensual here, but if you want to smell the way an Alexander Calder sculpture looks, this is it.

I received a 2 bottles of this a few weeks ago. At first spray, I thought that this was not for me. It would suit a 'girlie-man' (said in a Schwarzenegger accent)., but then wait for the woods to come through. It is quite nice. I have some on my wrists now, and I can't stop sniffing it. It reminds me of Penhaligon's LP No.9 for men, only, much more simple....if that makes sense. Will buy more when I have run out of my stock.

I like this woody aromatic. So much that I bought a bottle. On my second wearing and L’Anonyme stays close but displays stamina. Four hours plus in mild summer weather. Well blended, the only notes I can pick up is citrus in the opening plus geranium in the drydown. I’m also thinking the suede keeps this scent smooth and easy to wear. I’m sure this is loaded with synthetics but it doesn’t smell like it.

I got my bottle! and I must say that the bottle and the packaging are very stylish. They might seem too simple at the picture, but in real the bottle is very well done with shiny metal top and silver label. The fragrance is very fresh, clean and powdery. It's amazing how this dusty cleanness is united with creamy-cozy undertones.

This smells bright and clean on my husband. The only thing I smell on me is plastic (almost BO) salty suede.

reminds me of sour skittles. specifically the lime sour skittles. not my thing exactly but it's nice!

L'Anonyme can be considered an extremely minimal composition for its structure and pyramid but at the same time it contains one of the most complex and complete element in perfumery: geranium. This ingredient is known for its countless facets that go from cool, fresh and leafy to rosy, tangy and fruity. L'Anonyme is a sort of tribute to all of this. It opens with a fresh and zingy bergamot note immediately joined by geranium that continuely shows all of its characteristics as If it were the main "piece"of a minimalistic kaleidoscope. A gentle musky/suedey base gives some support to this simple composition adding a slight and clean sweetness. , L'Anonyme is far from being the suprising fragrance I expected but for the price it sells for, it's definitely worth experiencing. Transparent, fresh and easy to wear. Nice. One cosnideration: This could have easily been an hypothetical composition form the Escentric Molecules serie (let's say Escentric 04) dedicated to geraniol but in that case it would have been sold for $150. A word to the wise... Rating: 7/10

Yes, you can try it but please, don't order it unless you don't mind spending. This is a composition around geranium, done in such a way that lacks character. Even I, who adore anything with geranium I'll pass on this one. Yes it is open, fresh and cozy but where is the geranium's arrogance, spiciness and bourbon undertones to make it even more interesting? As a perfume it isn't as minimal as you might think, there is stuff going on in the background to give it the necessary complexity but all in all, we are dealing with a common place approach to a masculine (or unisex by today's standards) perfume. The name really suits it and that is a pity..

For folks who don't love bergamot and lemony scents, be warned that this fragrance is very bitter when first sprayed on. The bergamot and then the geranium seriously made me want to scrub it off. But this is one you have to wait for. The drydown is quite pleasant with the suede notes. While this fragrance may seem too ordinary for A Lab on Fire's first scent there is something here that is mirrored, if only by slight reference, in their their three subsequent much more complex scents. There seems to be almost A Lab on Fire signature like there is a Guerlain signature.
