Craft Andrea Maack for women and men

This is an icy-cold metallic smell, even putting it on transports you straight into winter, and you almost feel as if you are frolicking naked in snow. It has a crisp metallic tang. I don't find it unwearable, it's just that I think it would be a wonderful refresher on a hot humid day; I'm sort of saying to myself tonight while trying it "Brrrrrr" as it's only 6 degrees C.out there. I must admit a soft spot for perfumes which are absolutely without any hint of sweetness - this is certainly one of them.

I was completely sucked in by the branding of the Andrea Maack perfumes and immediately ordered samples of her perfumes. Craft is the first sample I've tried and I'm surprised at how bad it is. It just smells like gone-off medicine on me! I've thrown my sample away and hope I have better luck with the other two perfumes in the range.

Craft for me is not really a perfume. Id classify it almost as anti-perfume, in the lines of Comme des Garcons Synthetic series. It is a scent, but it is quite industrial. It smells of mixture of things things- metal, clay, oil, wooden shavings, a factory assembly line, a mixture of old and new, a wooden, cracking floor in a museum, an inside of an old church. I used to do pottery a few years ago and that's how the studio smelled like as well.
Very metallic woody. Aquatic? Not necessarily.
A scent of the industrial era, perhaps?

I dont really know how to classify Craft. It is the most unusual fragrance I have tested in a long while. It seems as if there were no natural ingredients in this one. It smells of art. It definitely smells more of ideas rather than the perfume ingredients. And although I find the concept highly intriguing, the perfume itself is completely and utterly unwearable.

This seems extremely similiar to Escentric Molecules 01 - Molecules. There is the same "nut" note I got from the Molecules, but this I like a little bit better.
At the opening it's very medical and woody, there is the slight "nut" accord, but I can't say it disturbs me as much as it did in Molecules.
I do not find this to be a feminine perfume at all, but it could be worn by patchoulli lovers. The patchoulli here indeed is extremely medical, sharp and earthy.
I almost pressed "dislike", but then the elemi appeared and I started to get something I would definetely want to smell on a man. It smells like pine forest in autumn after rain, all the earth is wet and dirty, the pine is smoky and all together it's very medical, herby, earthy and hippy-like.

It's not cup my tea, but the quality is AMAZING. I would like to smell this on a man, but my bf said that he's had enough with me pouring stuff on his wrist :( Oh well...
