I had coffee yesterday with some of Zagreb perfumistas. That is always cause for smelling more perfumes and as we met opposite Top (niche perfumery), of course I tried some perfumes prior to seeing them.
The things is, I am either too sensitive to those synthetic (white?) musks or the whole industry is going down the drain.
I sprayed two perfumes on my arms yesterday, Xerjoff Al Khatt and Byredo Mojave Ghost.
Honestly, I thought both were great and enjoyed smelling them. Al Khatt doesn’t really smell like a straight-in-the-nose oud but is rather easy and lovable and Mojave Ghost is cool, if I would describe it in one word.
The problem with both is that they end up in synthetic muskiness and are therefore completely unwearable for me.
I really can’t tell if I am too sensitive to those molecules but honestly, I don’t really care. I hate the fact that so many expensive perfumes end up smelling like that. Aside the fact that they are expensive, they really use some expensive ingredients so adding those synthetic musks is like a punch in the nose for me after enjoying the beginning. 😦
I just wish everyone would find some better alternative on how to keep perfumes lasting.
