ABSTRACT: A masterpiece from Bulgari (by Annick Menardo, who
created
it in 1998), one of the most unmistakable scents of the
perfume history: once
smelled, never forgotten.
Unusual, “strange”, “different” from another else, with an
aroma of
smoke, aromatic woods, tires, synthetic rubbers…and asphalt, tar
freshly
stretched out on the street, plus some “normal” amber and
vanilla.
A fragrance that lifted up many eyebrows, because –basically-
it’s
“not like a traditional perfume.”
Some say that -as a concept- has been the basis for the
realization of
many perfumes out later, including Gucci pour Homme (another
wonderful “smoky” masterpiece) which will arrive only in 2003,
and many other perfumes
and "niche" ones, in limited production.
The unusual smell, strongly masculine, is greatly appreciated
by
women.
Beautiful as design, too: a circular bottle, covered with
black rubber,
with a silver lid.
Currently available only in some markets, almost disappeared
from
circulation.
Recommendation: STRONG BUY, both for the “revolutionary”
perfume
(keep in mind it was year 1998), and for the historical
value.
Still available
(2013) at a very low price.
VOTE 9.5/10
