Venezia Uomo opens with a clean lemon and bergamot tandem before quickly adding relatively soft lavender to the mix. As the fragrance reaches its early heart phase the aromatic lavender takes...
A nice green top note develops into a good iris scent with a hint o light wood - a bit synthetic but all right. Gone after ninety minutes on my skin. Nice while it lasts and quite unlike others.
An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.
The original vintage version:
Amongst the classic chypres this is a more floral one, with touches of citrus, rose and jasmine in the top notes. Woody and leather becomes more obvious in the...

Lately I've been diggin' this retro synth John Carpenter-esque stuff. This album would've gone under my radar if not for Forced Exposure. Resident Advisor gave it 4/5 stars, frankly I don't know why they withheld the last star unless it was for PCA not including volume 3 in this set. I swear I'm seconds away from busting out the Escape From New York OST, lolz.

Being the obsessive Andrew Weatherall fan that I was years ago, I went through the entire discography of theirs and I was extremely thrilled with the Weatherall-produced track, on this album, 'Trainspotting'. Still, my FAVORITE Primal Scream release is the 'Dixie Narco' EP. Every track is ace.

I have never heard of them (like so many artists that you post). Reminds me of the John Carpenter-esque stuff that Prurient (aka Dominick Fernow) is releasing like 'Time's Arrow'.

Oh cool, thanks for the recommend. I'm running down their back catalog as the first time around I was content with CDR's and mp3's. I'll keep an eye out for Dixie Narco. I luv that they did Vanishing Point as an alternate soundtrack to the 70's movie of the same name. How cool is that? And what a crazy cover of Motorhead!

That Prurient track is cool. When I left off with Prurient it was harsh noise. Seems the John Carpenter style stuff is trending. John Olson from Wolf Eyes is doing Moon Pool & Dead Band (Carpenter-esque), Andy Votel's new project Xian Orphic is like a mix of Klaus Shultze (Ash Ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream, etc.) and John Carpenter.
Heard a Belly song on the radio this morning (who plays them anymore?) and got in the mood for some rare Tanya-led Muses (firmly camp Kristin here usually!).
Been listening to a lot of Pet Shop Boys for the last couple of days (I go through these PSB phases), the new album has some highlights (the track 'A Face Like That' is fantastic) but their single which is sort of okay, has three wonderful B-sides, one of which is addictive...
