Abrasive Personality
PM smells like the music industry in the 80s, at least for the first hour. Cocaine and smoke. Ironically inspired by a music producer or collaboration rather. Upon the opening there is this bitter sweet, ash-like, smoky leather; only slightly metallic. Reminiscent of TF Tuscan Leather and Byredo's Black Saffron, but turned up a few notches. This particular note allows very little room for other notes to shine outside of cardamom, patchouli and woody accords. 3-4 hours in, the floral notes are more detectable, but still leather dominant while moving into a powdery phase. There is a freshness of juniper felt in the late stages of wear as well. PM is quite masculine and intrusive, if that's your thing and could very well be worn by a woman. Well made and performed, but it's going to require an abrasive personality or much confidence to pull this one off.
