BOD Man: Tekno
by Parfums de Coeur

Tekno reminds me a little of Ultraviolet Man. They don’t smell alike, but I think they are the product of the same kind of idea: They both attempt to represent elements of the modern industrialized world. Tekno accomplishes this with less subtlety, and less refinement than Ultraviolet Man has. Tekno is also clunkier, and much, much shorter lasting. I assume it was created with the same idea as Ultraviolet Man’s – modern, abstract, synthetic, light. It’s not a real EDC or EDT like Ultraviolet, it is a short lived body spray and it is sharp, purposely synthetic, metallic and fresh. It is quite youthful and not altogether unpleasant: It has a certain obscure panache about it that I can’t explain and that I feel I must give a grudging, respect… but in the slightly longer run… it doesn’t matter what it performs like because it has such a short life span. It not a good scent, just a unique one and I feel like I should be ashamed of myself, but I’m voting this barely neutral because it’s unique and it’s better than its price would indicate.
