went to a fragrance store and while i didn't find a candidate for the (heavily debated) green phil fragrance, i did get to smell dan's gucci fragrance.

my first impression was that it's actually quite incense forward? spicy but in a very unique and complex way. like a lot more complex than i figure is reasonable for daily wear is what i was thinking (leave it to dan to be needlessly complicated lmao)

on later review it's tobacco and cypress which ends up reading as menthol-y in a way? which is fun and the tobacco explains what i was reading as incense. there's also a particular like? i believe white floral quality (violet iirc) that compliments the other scents well, even if im not personally overly fond of it.

im also getting a little bit of like citrus and powdery-ness? im not getting much from the base notes (leather, amber) but i blame that on the fact that im smelling it on a card lol

my overall impression is that it smells kinda dry. like. how there are some scents that smell like the ocean or they smell juicy or whatever. this is the opposite of that. this smells dusty. this smells dark academia. this smells like saltburn. this smells like your rich old grandpa who smokes a pipe in his study ykwim.

i should probably stop before this turns full buzzfeed what your fragrance says about you but anyway yeah

gucci by gucci: 6/10. not a daily wear for me, personally but it's a fascinating and incredibly nuanced piece.

i don't believe jeremy fragrance would ever lie but I also don't believe him when he says he's never done drugs so there must be some kind of misunderstanding here. maybe drugs means something different in germany

edit: rbs turned off bc he's far right

some people in tags were also saying he's a rapist

Berlin, City Smell Research. Sissel Tolaas (Norwegian, born 1962) 2004.

Glass and smell simulation

Each bottle: 5 7/8 x 7 1/16 x 2 3/8" (15 x 18 x 6 cm)

“Smell immediately locates you in a space,” says artist, designer, chemist, and odor theorist Sissel Tolaas. “It gives you new tools to perceive your surroundings.” Throughout her career Tolaas has worked provocatively with smell, applying headspace technology—used in the perfume industry to capture and synthesize natural scents—to render essences ranging from the objectionable (sweat, rotten fish, dog feces) to the everyday (fresh laundry, kebabs, shoe shop) and put them into an archive of more than seven thousand scents. From this archive she has created fragrances that do not adhere to the usual definitions of what smells good or desirable; instead, her aim is to stimulate emotional responses, evoke memories, and recreate places in all their chaos and specificity. While conducting her City Smell Research, which was presented at the Berlin Biennale in 2004, Tolaasworked in various Berlin districts to distill an essential scent for each one, creating an olfactory map of the city. The scents are contained in bottles that physically recall the city map and compass points. This work is not simply the charting of a landscape of smell; it also explores the potential of smell as information that enhances and subverts the physical and symbolic boundaries of the urban ecosystem.
