MA LON: GHOST IN THE CAN [Toad Fruit & Forest Cemetary]

This fragrance is uniquely haunting, almost confrontational at first, yet strangely irresistible, like I cant get myself over it. The opening hits hard and potent, but as it settles on the skin it transforms into a salty smoky scent that is similar to sweat but not in a negative way. On clothes, it becomes warmer and spicier contrast to its rawer skin scent. It’s definitely an acquired taste and not a safe blind buy, but given time, it reveals its charm. My reaction to it reminds me of my first encounter with oud, smelling horrible at first but the more I smell it, the better I like it. Interestingly, I enjoyed it even more when I smelled it on someone else. when my friend sampled it, it was genuinely stunning. If you’re looking for a fragrance that’s slightly dirty, deeply captivating, and unlike anything else, this one deserves a spot on your list.
