So I (foolishly) thought $10 for Porsche Essence might be a steal.
The top gives you cut green grass, a floral, I get lily, and something calone-esque...Basically if you want to smell across between a shiny metal fender and Liquid Plumbr toiletbowl cleaner, this is your scent! That is to say, it smells like Chrome, another hideous synthetic mess. These aquatic metallic are properly vile and really have you wondering what memories these things invoke to account for their popularity: "Golly this reminds me of when the toilet used to overflow and mommy had to whip out the liquid plumber to get all that overflowing urine and feces down." Not to descend to base humor, but this trend for these synthetics that smell of industrial chemicals are truly sickening. I was worried that whatever gave me a serious allergy attack in Axe Cool Metal was in this too...Basically this genre says "forget even being reminiscent of something natural, we're going for full on carcinogenic eau de Dow Chemical Plant Runoff. Porsche Design Essence, like Chrome a nihilistic, post apocalyptic fragrance for a generation raised to believe that "style" is a substitute for "beauty" and that smelling like plastics and metal is actually a good thing.
I get the younger crowd is buying this kind of scent by the truckload because it's of the moment, but it's worrisome because this kind of fragrance is the absence of anything pleasant, sexy, endearing or happy, it's a shiny metal wasteland filled with lakes of radioactive heavywater, welcome to the Matrix indeed...

A friend of mine gets angry, as in actually angry and offended when people like things he doesn't; I always roll my eyes at him and I think I was picturing him as I read your post!
