This really smells like a typical Hermes fragrance. A grapefruit citrus opening that smells like your typical "eau de cologne" backed by peppery earthy grassy mineral notes. If you've smelled...
The eucalyptus, cedar and benzoin creates a cool, dry fragrance that doesn't have the medicinal qualities usually associated with that combination of notes. A great price, I'm glad YSL keeps...
I have actually done something of a full 180 on this - the first time I smelled it I thought it was absolutely horrid, just a harsh saltwater and little else. I did give it a few more tries, and...
The name Lys Fume is only half correct. The lily is there, the smoke is not. No complaint, though. This is a handsome and well composed floriental. Lily is the centerpiece but other elements...
Oud tends to be the gorilla in the room in a fragrance that uses it as the principle note. Oud being both potent and distinctive, the challenge is how to make an oud-centric perfume fundamentally...
You ever get an album and as soon as you're finished listening to it you cannot BELIEVE that you almost missed listening to it? As if your life wouldn't have been complete, if you hadn't had the opportunity to experience this 'sound'? As if everyone else who had already listened to it had been 'in on the joke' and you were left out for some time, until now? That's how I felt when I listened to this album. Ultimately, it's a cohesive mixture of a whole bunch of parts (of electronic music) that I love: dub bass, dark ambience/drone, female vocals and a nice slow (but hard) groove. In fact I can't think of another album, since 'A Shocking Hobby' by Speedy J, that is so hard and yet so slow and dirge-like. In my teens, I cut my teeth on that slow, throbbing, 'gothic' industrial music (like Clock DVA, Test Dept., etc..) and this album, as dubstep and hip as it is, sort of evokes that mood also. I'm not sure if I want to stare off into the distance while it's playing...or move my hips.
Thanks for putting this link up N. I've been listening to it, on and off, all day yesterday & today. Some of tracks are deadly good. Nice way to close out '12.

No problem. I haven't been able to run through it all myself. As you said, there's way too many awesome records that just go on repeat for me. Blind by Christian Löffler is one of my favorites so far.
