Unutamam

JeeZeus!! What a huge aroma! This is not for the faint-hearted! Once you get past the mahoosive initial spray this will stick with you all day! You had better like it as there is no way of removing it without jumping in sheep dip! This is one you will have to spray into the air (ONCE!) and walk through it. To me it is a little reminiscent of creosote fence treatment but sort of nicer, if that makes sense. Do not wear this anyplace where you want to remain anonymous! Deffo not a blind buy fragrance! I am working up the courage to give it a whirl in public sometime!!

Challenging for sure but fantastic. It was a blind buy for me but I don't regret it. One of the boldest fragrances in my collection and I have a few for sure. It's like smoldering leather with some animalic nuances. I don't get any florals but maybe it's just me. 10/10

An incredible dark fragrance. I blind-bought this for an insane price, and I can confirm it was worth it. It is an artistic, bold, dark scent that smells sophisticated yet rough, where the mint note creates enough of a balance with the intensity that is felt. If the color black were a scent, it would probably be this. It oddly reminds me of Encre Noire but with added intensity, where a petroleum note lingers throughout, with a touch of animatic goodness. It does become a little sweeter and lighter later on in the dry-down. Performance, as expected from an extrait, is very good. It's definitely not for everybody.

Here is a UFO in the olfactory universe. It’s grandiose, innovative and daring. I really like the smell of mint, which here is smoked with that of fern. All with a little lavender and rosemary, creates a striking aura. And it's not the jasmine and the caramel that lighten this sympony, in short.....the must in creative and artistic perfumery. This perfume is not intended for Bleus etc.....they do not have noses prepared or adapted to this type of creation. I found that Rien Intense from Etat Libre d'Orange was already something out of the ordinary, with a very green incense, this Unutamam far exceeds it. I confirm the opinions concerning its power, 2 sprays no more. Here the extract quality takes on its full meaning. A big thank you to Miguel Matos for this creation, I am very happy with it.

If you are anything like me and you stumble upon a fragrance and read things like the nose behind it wouldn't wear it, swamp ass, bad breath, more than one spray will kill people, DO NOT blind buy, well, I don't run in the opposite direction. Instead I go online to find out at the best price and click order now. Am I brave or just stupid? Well as it turns out, neither. Looking at the notes and putting the reviews aside, this is something that looked like I would love. I am a big fan of unapologetic animalic powerhouses from the 70s and 80s and this fits that bill nicely. Now I can definitely see why people can be disgusted by this, spray it directly on skin or tester paper and put your nose right in it and yeah, it stinks. But here's the thing, it's an extract, not an edt or parfum. What I've personally learned from extracts is that if you truly want them to shine you can't spray them on you from just a few inches away. You have to mist it on you from almost an arm's length away, this opens up the fragrance and let's you fully enjoy all the notes and transitions. It opens with a green smokey vibe, the oregano is not like the one in interlude man, or at least doesn't come off that way, I guess mixed with the rosemary and lavender give it almost a camphor/tar effect with a minty leather. The next phase on me it gets quite floral, I'm thinking this has a big dose of Jasmine or hedione, but then again to me sometimes jasmine and castoreum can smell similar intially so it's probably an amplification of two together. Now the beaver piss starts kicking in and that slight fecal smell but with the patchouli and Amber and a cold breeze it's quite magical. It's like it a chameleon at this phase, every time I get a waft it's something different, making me wonder if it's actually me. The dry down is my favorite part, the beaver piss has come to it's peak stage (the best part) and the oak moss is phenomenal. Can't say I really smell caramel but it is very warm and cozy at this stage so maybe that's it. Now what I love about this is that unlike with most fragrances where the dry down is the best part but by that time it's merely a skin scent, this MF is still pumping hard. Honestly I put 3 sprays in the way I mentioned and no one died. I was scared about how my wife would respond to this fragrance though. I applied it before going shopping and when I got home she started helping me put away groceries. Great. Here it comes. "what are you wearing?" Why I said. "It smells really good". Hmmm, I told her the story behind this fragrance and she said of course she likes it because I smell like a man, apparently all the fragrances of mine she hates are the overly sweet feminine basic bro fragrances. Even better because this means I can wear this when I please, my wife matters, fuck anyone else lol. So yeah, one man's unwearable is another man's signature scent. To me this is a masterpiece. A 16 hour journey of fragrance art, some may say a lost art. 10/10 for me. Great job Miguel!
