A revolutionary masculine fragrance that combines gasoline-like petrol notes with warm leather and violet leaf for an industrial yet refined scent. This polarizing fragrance became a cult classic with its unique metallic opening that softens into creamy woods and vanilla.
What People Say
The gasoline-petrol opening is completely unique and instantly recognizable, creating an industrial-metallic signature that no other fragrance matches
That violet leaf heart note creates an unusual green-floral contrast against the leather base that's simultaneously masculine and artistic
The drydown transforms from harsh petrol into creamy vanilla and leather in a way that feels like two completely different fragrances
Projection is excellent in the opening hours - the petrol note announces itself from across a room
The gasoline opening is genuinely off-putting and smells like you've been working at a gas station
Performance has declined significantly over the years, lasting only 4-5 hours when it used to be a beast
The violet leaf can smell soapy and feminine to some, making the masculine positioning feel confused
Great for
Men who want something completely unconventional and don't mind smelling like industrial materials mixed with luxury goods.
Not for
Anyone who finds gasoline or petrol notes nauseating, or those who prefer traditional masculine fragrances.
Longevity
4-6 hours, much weaker than vintage batches
Projection
Strong for the first hour, then becomes moderate to weak
Value
Decent price for a designer but the reformulated performance doesn't justify even the mid-tier cost
