once smelled, this is a perfume you will never forget. I am quite amazed by looking at the Notes that it didn't include either Tar, Naphtaline, Rubber, Plastic. I guess that still wasn't dripped in the subconscious content of Perfumes, made, and the Tolerability of quirky Ingredients within the Fabrication of them. what was allowed and what not, all in the direction of sellability. (what now is all widely spoken of and considerated as variables in the Perfume Business.) I guess this (1998) was one of the first off-roaders, it embodied either a very Chic, Leathered NY Lady (or Italian). or it went straight to the Coureurs, the fast-burnin' jet set of glamour boys (and gals). what I remember clearly was Tar & Rubber. this, affirmated by the also oddly packaging of the awkward and in a way attractive Flacon (while Bvlgari jewels, suggesting that I could pay them, were never quite my thing. if you think they were way too ostentatious, think again. they were that quite not enough.) I would not be able to point at any one Note which would be able to pull the Fast Car and Limousine Interior vibe, off. so that stays a riddle. (perhaps yet the Leather Note was way more outrageous than preliminary assumed (by both Perfumer & Client)). but it was a memorable fragrance plus Art Direction. in a sense, it reminded me of: Le Feu d'Issey, also launched in 1998. it had the same excentricity vector. and they further have nothing in common. but the mysterious Attractivity notwithstanding.
