Everyone knows the expression “There is no comrade for taste and color”, which can be safely supplemented with words about smells. Today we look at the top ten most unusual perfumes that can be found on sale if desired.
10. The smell of a burning fireplace
The fragrance By the Fireplace by Maison Martin Margiela, like most of their products, is built on associations that tie a person to an event or place. This sample imitates the smell of a burning fireplace, and everything is so subtle that you can really feel yourself near a fire. It seems that even the sound of crackling logs is heard and the skin gives a pleasant warmth. According to the description of the perfume, it is “tied” to the French resort of Chamonix and should convey the atmosphere of a wooden chalet in the 1971 Alps. If you analyze the perfume in more detail, then speaking of high notes, you can highlight cloves, orange and pepper, in the middle - juniper and chestnut, and in the low - cashmeran and vanilla.
9. Caviar overseas, not eggplant
Yes, Womanity Mugler really smells like black caviar with a touch of fig. This smell is classified as “salty,” and there has always been a lot of controversy around them: for example, many are for some reason sure that they were synthesized only recently, although this is not so. Thierry Mugler created his line long before them, and it is he who should be considered, if not the discoverer, then one of them. As for the perfume, it seems to relieve you of all worries, move away from the routine, causing associations with the coast, sea, wind.
8. The smell of human secretions
Doesn't sound attractive, does it? And this is not our creative, or rather, not quite: the official name of the fragrance is “Wonderful discharge”. Etat Libre d Orange is generally distinguished by its creativity: in its collections you can find the smells of “Fatty Electrician” or “Doomsday”. As for the described instance, the authors wanted to create a product that recreates sweat, blood and saliva. If you dare to try and “sniff”, you can also catch the more familiar notes of sandalwood, iris, coconut, milk and other, more pleasant components.
7. Sands of Morocco
If you get a bottle of L Air du Desert Marocain Tauer Perfumes, then the question "What does it smell like from you?" you can safely answer "This is the scent of the Moroccan desert." It was the creators who tried to synthesize it, which in general is not so strange: many perfume companies draw ideas from the smells of nature, although few people pay attention to the desert. According to those who used the L Air du Desert Marocain Tauer Perfumes, you literally feel gusts of hot wind and fine grains of sand on your skin on a physical level. How this was realized is unknown, but the result is clearly noteworthy.
6. Alcoholic bouquet
The creator of perfume, Kilian Hennessy, is a member of the same famous family that produces luxury cognac. Probably, the influence of relatives and the environment influenced the fact that in his perfume company by Kilian he mainly specializes in odors associated with alcohol, and A Taste of Heaven, imitating absinthe, is the best example of its products. Connoisseurs will find here everything they love for this drink: a floral-herbal blend, chocolate notes and a subtle background of a noble tree. A truly masculine fragrance that attracts many women.
5. “Illegal aroma”
Rumor has it that the perfume Black Afgano Nasomatto for its creators was just an experiment, the implementation of an absurd at first glance idea, and they themselves did not expect such a resounding success. Nevertheless, “Black Afghan”, smelling of hemp (in addition to it there are resins, tobacco, coffee, frankincense), made a name for the Nasomatto brand. The aroma turned out to be thick and saturated, in which, despite the abundance of “harmless” shades, hemp rules the ball. It remains only to guess what it is like to explain to the police in Russia that you did not “blow”, and that you just have an extravagant perfume.
4. Money smells
