Rotting Fruit...
Lobitt opens with what can best be described as an artificial sharp sour lemon and tart grapefruit citrus hybrid with a tinge of underlying bitter orange. As the composition moves to its early heart the sour lemon and tart grapefruit citrus remain as the composition adds in a co-starring rotting orange peel accord to the mix. During the late dry-down the rotting fruit aspect of the composition dissipates, allowing relatively clean musk to emerge and mesh with the artificial lemon remnants through the finish. Projection is on the low side of average, as is longevity at about 6-7 hours on skin.
I am afraid this stuff smells terrible. The initial artificial sour lemon and grapefruit-like citrus tandem smells like PEZ candy, sans sweetness. Once you add in the rotting orange peel aspect, the end result is one of the worst citrus concoctions I have ever encountered. I have no idea why the perfumer would think this was a good idea, but all I know is once I am done writing this review the composition is getting scrubbed off pronto. The relatively clean musky late dry-down is much better, but why would one suffer through the composition just to get a bit of sensory relief as their reward? I wish I had more to say, but Lobitt does not merit it. The bottom line is the 89 Euro per 50ml bottle Lobitt is a disgusting mix of artificial PEZ-like citrus and rotting fuit, earning it a "very poor" 1 star out of 5 rating and an extremely strong avoid recommendation. What were the folks at Loant thinking?
