Lü Bu

This is a fantastic "gateway" fragrance for the truly avant-garde. The opening delivers that shock-value, artistic DNA - gunpowder and 🩸 - but the dry down makes it incredibly easy to wear and genuinely comforting.

Quite metallic at the beginning, with more prominent gunpowder. Part of the mineral, metallic character remains while the fragrance becomes warmer, softer, and gentler. Interesting and probably great for the right occasion or person, but not particularly narrative for me and I find it hard to imagine where I would wear it.

It features a nicely noticeable and potent iris flower scent, along with a paper-like aroma maybe slightly spicy, that is neither too heavy nor too light, and it lasts well on you throughout the day. May come off as sweeter than you expect at the first sprays tho, let it unfold further.
