    Yes! This video showcases the artistry of perfumery...How a Picasso or Dali is "weird" visual art and Radiohead, Joanna Newsome or Massive Attack might be considered "weird" musical art...Some houses embrace the concept of Olfactory "weirdness" - LOL! And I have ALWAYS been here for it! ELDO, Zoologist, Imaginary Authors, January Scent Project, Darren Alan, Strangers Perfumery (to name a few) are my favorite fragrance houses! If I had to name three fragrances that the first time I smelled them I was like - WHAT?!?! Zoologist 2015 Bat, Hermann A Mes Cotes Me Parasait Une Ombre by ELDO and Y06-S by Blackbird...The last one really messed me up because it truly smells to me like a Television that has overheated or is literally melting in a fire! xoxo

      Wo considers Massive Attack weird tho? Theyre quintessential Trip Hop. The boxer one def gave me a viceral reaction because the idea of wearing blood as a fragrance is just replusive

    The sea + boozie fragrance brought to my mind something like characters from Treasure Island. Like old pirates on their ship, maybe saling through a storm unconcerned while drinking and playing dice or cards. Haven't smelled it, but hearing the description made me think of that.

    My weirdest fragrance is D.S & Durga Deep Dark Vanilla. It literally wrenched my stomach upon first smell, I almost tapped out. Initial smell is like… souring Robitussin. Overtime it evolved into a really nice fragrance with the hay and patchouli at the end.

    The weirdest fragrance I've ever bought is "Extra-Terrestrial Adventure" from Park Scents. If you've ever been on the E.T. ride at Universal Studios Orlando you know that ride has a district smell. 😂 I wish it captured the entire ride, but it does a good job of capturing the musky redwood forest queue. Actually another Park Scents "Flume" (inspired by The Pirates of the Caribbean ride) captures the aquatic part of E.T. but it's dominated by the gunpowder, smoke, and metallic notes. They're pretty fun for the novelty.

    Nishane Unutamam is good weird for me, I love it and I wear it. Fishy smells are a turn off but I'm not that sensitive to marine fragrances as you are, I can stand Acqua di Sale with no issues, it has to be a very strong fishy smell to bother me. Ierofante is on my list since it was released, I just haven't pull the trigger. Great video Sebastian, thank you!!!

    "Albedo" is the weirdest perfume I happen to have tested on skin. The notes include hyrax, and I was stupid enough to check what hyrax is after spraying some of the perfume on my skin. It's as if a rat died on my wrist, then got reborn, then executed certain bodily activities and then died again... Brrrr.

    So, I've come to realize that some of these fragrances eventually grow on you and people even start to compliment how you smell. Case in point etat Libre d'orange. I got gifted a bottle from this range, I think it was rien. For months! That bottle stayed on the shelf. Then I got the bright idea to use it as a bathroom spray, apparently some of it got on my towel. Hours after, I walked into the bathroom, and I couldn't believe my nose. It had one of the richest woody scent that I've ever come across. Needless to say that I looked forward to mixing it into my daily fragrance from then on. Unfortunately, I live in Nigeria, where it's hard to come by some of these niche fragrances and do, I haven't been able to replace it.

    I can think of Blow Up by Moth and Rabbit, inspired by the M.Antonioni movie Blow up from 1966. It gives off a slight asphalt and photographic film feel (if you've seen the movie this makes sense) but I still find it wearable. Leaning a bit towards CDG's Concrete.

    I think we're in both a very healthy, and somewhat unhealthy place with fragrances at the moment. There's definitely a drive towards experimentation and fragrances that challenge people around you,which is an interesting concept for now. We're also in a place where fragrances are costing more and more, despite a lot of us earning less in real terms. I think it's great that fragrance experimentation is going bonkers - who knows what cool stuff might come out of it. But I'm also a bit saddend that fragrance is becoming intentionally more exclusive - priced to a point where you'd just have to have no other financial obligations to try it. It's driving dupes, not enhancing exclusivity.
