Good Covid frag
Kickstarter campaign frag. This has the same moon dust note as their Eau de Luna, which is great, but added to that is a reeking mercaptan/bilge note, some body odor undertones, and a burning plastic insulation note that must simulate the ripe conditions of over clocked electronics, under washed astronauts, and the on-board septic system near the end of the mission. The lovely moon dust of Eau de Luna is ephemeral, the stinky spacecraft is tenacious and a bit nauseating. Similar effect as the bilge note in Secretions Magnifiques, but cranked up to volume 11. Wearable if your intent is social distancing.
Hard to find discontinued gem
This is a real gem that is, unfortunately, now very hard to find. Very lush, dark, woody, spicy and smoky, yet not overwhelming or overbearing. I love wearing it, but it makes me melancholy each time, for the day when it will be gone for good I fear is too fast approaching.
Not your typical tuberose - much better than the rating here suggests
Just awesome and totally unique. Tuberose like no other tuberose. No sweetness or indolic notes, just earthy, rooty, dirty floral infused with dry woods, incense, resins, patchouli, and balsamic resins. Addictively good.
Social distancing in a perfume
Odd, oil and water concoction of a deep, incense/woody/vetiver half and a frivolous melon/citrus/floral half fighting for dominance throughout the development, with each claiming moments of fleeting victory and retreat. They never come together or cooperate, but the nose / mind amalgamates the signals into something interesting and compelling and more than the sum of its disjointed parts. A funky, fun fragrance that is the antithesis of formal.

A*Men meets Old Spice
Interesting extrapolation of A*Men. It's basically the A*Men vanilla/chocolate/patchouli chord made less musty and gourmand and more barbershoppy by grafting to a spicy, bay-clove-cinnamon-nutmeg Old Spice-like mix. Similar to A*Men but more wearable.
