Into The Void

maybe someone knows a cheaper version of this?

Heavy orchid opening makes this more feminine but the drydown is on the darker side. Even with the darkness the orchid has plenty of bite. Mostly woods and patchouli as I don't get any sweetness except from the orchid. Not bad but after 4 sprays from my sample I will pass it along.

I respect bottles. If your bottle looks interesting then i have no other choice but to take you seriously. From the looks of this bottle, it appears as if Juliette was tired of being treated like a castaway. I'm trying to decode this void concept for clarity...Into the empty? Into the bare? Into the clear? The bottle is black and giving the note listings, maybe it's more related to a space and time where matter don't matter. If you just focus on the name, you'll likely expect something avant garde. As I sniff my arm, I can tell you that this fragrance is the antithesis of empty, clear, void or bare. This is the heavy of the heavies(accord wise) without being ostentatious. This is not the kind of brew meant for strong sillage. The dash of orchid was a nice touch and too much would of proven disastrous. Uncredited is a cognac nuance which hovers over the first 45 minutes into the fragrance. Depending on the purpose of why you paid admission, that could be a cheer or jeer. The patchouli is also jeer worthy especially if you're groomed from the school of earthy patchouli. Personally, I didn't mind the fragrance as a whole. Absolutely not ground breaking by any means but respectable. I managed to get a compliment therefore this has adoration appeal.

Dark, woody, but with a sweetness that smells good on me. Like a sweet campfire. Or the smell of pinon wood fires in NM. LOVE it. It's one of those can't stop smelling myself scents.

Positives: it's very original. Negatives: it's absolutely vile. For me this falls into the same category as most MMM scents, namely cheap-smelling novelty claptrap. It smells like licorice, but in a repulsive way that brings out memories of cream rubbed into childhood wounds (or is it deep heat?) and doctor's waiting rooms. The most hilarious thing is that is deemed worthy of an even more extortionate price than most of the line.
