Sombre by Strangers Parfumerie is supposed to make Secretions Magnifique smell like a compliment getter. It has sweat, pus, vomit, and some other nonsensical accords, and comes in a sealed package. I'm not saying I want Aaron to check it out... But yeah it'd be fun to watch Aaron check it out!

such an honest and entertaining review . best reviewer on youtube bar none.

Really enjoying these videos, keep them coming! 👍

I've not sniffed this fragrance (as of yet) but I certainly appreciate your ability to ascertain the elements that comprise this reportedly vile little number. Dirty dogs rolling in seaweed and ocean salt scent..curious indeed.

This is the one KZread channel that I automatically hit like when the video starts, because I haven't been disappointed so far! I wish that I could try some of the ATH fragrances! They're hard to get in the USA.

This one isn't quite as bad as all the hype, but definitely not pleasant. Has this harsh, sour metallicness to it and a weird acrid wateryness. Would like to see your thoughts on Dior's Oud Ispahan if it crosses your path!

Midnight in Paris by van cleef.... this is one I'd like to see a review on..

"[...]a wet dog in the sea[...]" Bahahahaha! I'd love to see you do some more Etat Libre d'Orange in the future. I'm curious about the house, but their marketing, while hilarious, makes me unsure.

Like forms of acting, sometimes the marketing for perfume sets up an expectation of an impersonation rather than a more artistic interpretation.

Etat Libre d'orange has some very nice ones tho. Like this and you or someone like you are favorite staples in my collection. But I never wanted to test that one.

This fragrance wasn't as offensive as I expected. Honestly, one of the most offensive parts for me was the iris, which I usually hate in perfume 😖

I always said that this fragrance smelled like my grandmother's metal patio set after it rained and there is a glass of milk sitting on the table along with a vase of flowers. And I got a marine aquatic vibe like her house was close to the ocean. I don't find it disgusting like other people do, but I also don't want to smell like a wet patio set LOL I don't get blood just wet metal. I think people associating this fragrance with blood has everything to do with the way ELDO marketed the fragrance. I also am not a fan of marine aquatics so there was no way I would like this fragrance, but I think if I did like marine aquatics that I might think it wasn't too bad. Not a disgusting fragrance but not pleasant either. I have smelled worse fragrances in my life.

Aaron, speaking of odd fragrances; please don't get tricked into reviewing "Sarin," a fragrance by new American perfumer, January Scent Project. I recently bought their discovery kit of 7 or 8 fragrances and tested their 'Sarin' by spraying one pump onto my arm while sitting on my bed. This resulted in stinking up my bedroom for over TWO MONTHS now with the stink of clove mixed with Bengay muscle pain cream!!! As sensitive as your nose is, one spray would likely force you to naw off your own arm, lol, or at least move out of your apartment. But seriously it's dense clove and the smell of Bengay muscle cream in an overwhelmingly strong concoction being sold as a perfume fragrance. Strong scent is great--when it's inoffensive. All fragrances in the Jauary Progect collection unfortunately made me nauseous.

Hi Aaron! A question, how would you do this fragrance if you only read the marketing for it? How your unicorn brain would take those words and make a fragrance out of it!

This would be the perfect time to ask you about how to wash scents off; there are some that it seems no amount of soap will get them off. Javanol, BR540 and 24 Gold are among some sticky ones where I've had to throw out shirts because of them, and like gasoline, I can't wash off skin and it can take even days to get rid of traces of the scent, which, if they make you sick...really sucks! What is the best way to get rid of fragrance from skin and clothes? Thanks, and cheers for reviewing this, I was waiting for it. ;)

Dawn dish soap should work, since its used to scrub away oils and grease, so it should get off the fragrance oils of a typical fragrance. There is ks also a type of grease hand cream you could probably pick up from an auto parts store that is designed to absorb grease/gas/oils, meant for mechanics to clean their hands since they tend to get lots of grease and oils everywhere.

+Gilberto Flores I've used the mechanics stuff a bunch of years back, the two I tried seem pretty worthless. I have defaulted to dish soap before...not that specific brand...and it was the best thing, but surprisingly still not as effective as one would hope. I was always hoping there was some special chemical combo that would simply grab and remove the molecules. As mentioned, Javanol and BR540 are in that top 5% of the worst in not being able to remove them, which is a shame, considering they're likeable scents...makes one like them that much less when you're stuck with them for more than a day. But thanks for chiming in, cheers.

So put neat, undiluted washing up liquid on. Then add warm/hot water. Foam and rinse away. Then get neat alcohol and put over the top. Wipe with tissue or a towel and that should do it. If that doesn't work get a solution of washing up powder with enzymes about 20% powder with 80% warm water massage in, rinse with warm water and dry. The enzymes can be used for a lot of magical things around the house. If your sensitive skin please dont try this. I have very robust skin

Hab den vor zig Jahren mal getestet ohne zu wissen wonach er riechen soll. Beginnt stechend mit etwas das Ammoniak sein könnte, sobald sich der Rüssel davon erholt hat pudrig-milchige Orangenblüte oder sowas wenn ich mich recht erinnere.

Etat Libre d'Orange is a strange bird. After liking and buying 100mll of "Cologne" (which is admittedly a bit one-dimensional but I like it for the nostalgia it provides) I purchased 6 other samples and with a few I swear I detected notes of BO, like serious unwashed arse. Others were very interesting. I suppose that's what this house is going for and I can respect that, but I do agree that if you're going to advert something severe, it should be more severe than how you took it.

You're brave I didn't dare to try it. 😆

So you’ve done it now and are not likely to do it again with this type of fragrance, but yep - this isn’t as gag inducing as some make out. However Terrence, I really did physically react to Sombre in a way that lasted a good few days! It’s the same question though “why would anyone want to smell this”? I can sort of understand why a fragrance house might want to do this from an ‘look what we can do’ standpoint, but surely someone out there must be able to come up with something more not-run-of-the-mill appealing than vomit which people might actually want to wear! 😵 The unfortunate thing about Sombre (at least where Prin is concerned!) was that I could detect some of the notes in Strangers other perfumes, which put me off wearing them for a good while!

Its reputation as a gag-inducing horror of a fragrance is pure marketing. The accords listed are (to my nose) just not there. I DO get that salty/bilge smell you mention. I bought two samples over the years before a full bottle and you know I REALLY like the way this one. It's not an everyday wear, but there are times when I think 'today I REALLY want to smell this on my skin.' A tiny amount will do, as I appreciate that most other people wouldn't like it. But when I hear people say things like "I like the way petrol smells" I can understand why this is still on the market after 16 years.
