Se-x S-Perfume for women and men

S-ex is pop-art. Just like Basquiat, Lichtenstein or even Andy Warhol.

Where brands such as Comme Des Garcons create their own language by introducing alien smells, "environmental odors" and abstraction, Se-x achives a similar result by taking a couple of perfumery pillars and pairing them together for an unexpectedly interesting result. On one side we have the hyper-classic floral-leather structure. On the other, the polarizing, generic, department store-reminiscent and emblem of the 90s: Calone. In this context, Laudamiel is just like Warhol who used to take very popular icons to transform them into "pieces" of art. If you prefer a musical analogy, just think about those musical mash-ups that used to take famous pop-songs and pair them with electronic/avant-garde bases. Among the most successful there was Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody (RIP), layered with Computer World by the Kraftwerk, or the amazing revisitation by Boards Of Canada of the classic Midas Touch by Midnight Star.

S-ex it's just like those mash-ups: it pairs the sacred with the profane. The aristocratic and "cultured" language, with the slang. The dirty animalic notes with the laundered age. What comes out is a destabilizing yet fascinating concoction of sweet/salty plastic-smoky leather, juxtaposed to a fresh marine, fruity/floral vibe that will appeal to anyone who's into the most daring fragrances by Comme Des Garcons and the likes. S-ex stays quite close to the skin, revealing a nice musky quality especially during the drydown. Modern, slightly weird and perfect for metropolitan parties in the most avant-garde clubs around the world. Minimal techno with a tad of pop! The smell fo Berghain.

One of a kind.

This one's declared unisex, but that doesn't mean in can be worn by anyone. In principle I don't like the idea of wearing fragrances only on special occasions - if a scent suits you, then wear it. But in this case, things are different.

Men should wear it only if they feel really sexy. Women should wear it on days they feel really androgynous. In either case, your looks should (i) match and be (ii) 100% perfect. On such occasions, this perfume is the cherry on the top. On any other occasion, don't even think about it.

This is a very salty, musky, futuristic, wet space leather...best way I can describe it! I like how it mixes with my own natural scent...very sexy to me, indeed. Definitely unisex and I don't get the strawberries at all. Longevity on me is about 4-6 hours. Glad I got it, but I think the $90 pricetag is a little much for what it is..

This is subtle and pretty, and not a leather a la Bandit (which smells like new car leather on me)but one that is easy to wear. I smell something fresh(oxygen?)strawberries which aren't overly sweet and the scent of clean skin. Reminds me of Aura which CL also created- without the jasmine. Soft but present,very comforting and not dirty at all. A very up-close scent which lasts but won't disturb those in your vicinity..nicely done!
