I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR A LONG TIME THAT MOST MODERN PERFUMES ARE LIKE SLEDGEHAMMERS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND AT LEAST NOW, ONE JAPANESE MUSK SCENT IS TELLING IT LIKE IT IS

    Did you try it? I guess I’d be intrigued enough by the name to have a sniff, even if the design (and the name) are offputting. The Swiss flag, the blue glass, the brutal font, and the name MUSK don’t appeal, I have to say. Each one of those elements in the right setting might, but not together. Was it unexpectedly lovely?

      t wasn’t possible to try it.

      The aesthetics, as you note, are fcking HEINOUS on every level (it should be very grateful it made its ugly way onto this blog).

      I will go and sniff the bit of cotton wool put inside a little plastic container though – you HAVE to try these things – you would too

    Hmmm. Better than a savage animal reference… maybe?

    This is hilarious! I have a colleague whose perfume should (and might even?) be called ‘pneumatic drill’.

    Ha! Ha! With that name, I can just imagine the scent, dear Neil. But have to admire its brutal honesty. Self-promotion alert coming up… you might want to read my interview with perfumer Harry Fremont in which he says very similar things about modern perfumery, “Power goes against beauty.” I’ve included the link. https://fragroom.com/2023/03/08/harry-fremont-interview/
