Anarchist A_

Very distinct dominant plastic and slight licorice note. Not a blind buy.

An extremely 'masculine' designer fragrance that brings back memories of my apprenticeship. It feels untidy, like a cluttered workshop where, upon entering, you smell all the materials (wood, wood shavings, various types of metal, leather, and scrap paper) at once, and where the old gate lets the wind in every now and then, constantly swirling all the scent components around anew. Good, good.

Upon the first spray, it creates an impression similar to Inexcusable Evil for me, strongly reminiscent of burnt rubber and plastic, forming a rather unpleasant opening. On the paper strip, the fragrance changed more over the course of a day than it did on the skin. On my dry skin, the scent lasted about 5 hours and turned sweet faster there than on the test strip. By "sweetish," I mean the smell of well-conditioned leather and lacquered wood, perhaps with something alcoholic underneath. Underneath that, something strongly synthetic can be detected, which reminds me of the smell of burning tealights. This creates the impression for me of an almost wicked church service, where you drink some whiskey instead of wine and make yourself comfortable on the wooden pews in your partner's leather jacket. For me personally, the fragrance is too masculine to wear and has a sharp, overly synthetic note at the beginning to be truly wearable in everyday life. However, the fragrance becomes more pleasant over time, provided you are not in a particular hurry to go somewhere.
