Haha a few have asked me about that actually, and the answer is simple... That is because for right now anyway, I am a "one man show" labeling, bottling, filling, and packaging everything in my home. No big distribution or anything, just doing what I love. And right now while I'm so "small" in the game, everything is produced in extremely small batches, ingredients sourced in small numbers and so my cost is rather high at the moment. Unfortunately my cost doesn't change whether its me filling a 10ml bottle or a 50ml bottle, and my cost for a 50ml is even higher obviously with the bigger packaging and shipping. As I grow and get to the point where I can start sourcing much larger orders for ingredients, my cost per ML will go down and I can price more along the lines of the discounts that larger houses can do with larger orders.
@the.Aruarian

@@StatikOlfactive Honestly, I like that the cost per ml is the same no matter the volume! Whenever I see a scent that's like €150 for 20ml and €220 for 100ml, it just makes me less likely to want to buy either. It either makes it feel like I'm getting shafted at 20ml, or forced into going for the 'better value for money' at 100ml.

Today is my 2nd or 3rd full wearing of this. I absolutely love it. That opening with the crisp, ozonic winter air with a light touch of smoke gets me. It reminds me of crisp autumn mornings right before winter takes over. I've wanted a fragrance like this for a while, but most of those old school powerhouses are so reformed that they perform like dog shit or the fragrance is so dated you don't want to wear it. Not this stuff. It's really so good.

I’ll reply to my own post (sorry for the double post) The fragrance came in and I tried it. I actually bought this and tried the 10ml sample yesterday. Ok first the good. It’s got an amazing atomizer. Like wow. It almost creates a mist. Fantastic. Hopefully it’s refillable and I can keep the atomizer for other fragrances. Now the bad. It smells… to put it in a good way, not well. As an ex cigarette smoker, first few sprays make me feel like I just had a smoke in the forest. Super gross. Then intense green pine mint overpowers everything and it smells like skol green chewing tobacco. Not the best smell in the world. It settles in nicely as a really cheap mint green car freshener that hangs from the rear view mirror. My hispanic girlfriend said I smell like a Mexican Uber driver who has a dirty car, and just sprayed this shit in it to mask the smell of dirt. Would not recommend wearing this around women. They fucking hate it.

George, thank you for this suggestion. This is everything you said it was and more. And it was packaged like a present. If PDM Greenley is Yin, Into the Wild is Yang and that's the closest I can come comparing it to other things. I was waiting for that civet to punch me and hate it, and it just gently purred and walked on by. If I didn't read it, I wouldn't have known it was there. When that honeysuckle comes out after the first few minutes sweetening it just a touch, it is simply beautiful and fantastic. 3 sprays gave me 10 hours of decent projection.

This fragrance sounds pretty good! But ain't it almost entirely a throwback to the green freshies of half a century ago (including the civet and castoreum, even)? The oud is surely not a major player here even though fragrantica lists it. I'd like to hear more about why you believe it to be original and wearable rather than retro and wearable. (Genuine question, not trying to be snarky!)
@StatikOlfactive
8 ай бұрын
Obviously George is welcome to post his thoughts here as well if he sees it, but i had a few minutes so figured i'd chime in as well. This most definitely is not a fragrance that you can judge going off of the listed notes alone. It is entirely 100% unique and unlike anything else out there. The civet and castoreum's role within this fragrance is simply to give some depth to the fragrance and give it a touch of class, but mainly to help aid in the performance/longevity as one of the denser base notes. It does not come off at all as a main player nor does it make it animalic or "skanky/barnyard/fecal" in the least. These two absolutes are done with a very light hand. And as far as the Oud is concerned, same scenario. The oud here is actually a pretty special one in that it is the non-infected heartwood of the tree. There is less of a yield for this particular kind and therefore fairly expensive. The oud is unlike any other you may have smelled. This particular oud, being non-infected (which gives the animalic touch to oud), and being the heart of the tree, is very similar to mysore sandalwood. It has a cleanliness to it and a light creaminess. Very soft and clean type of oud. And again, aids to the depth of the fragrance and gives it more "oomph". Its original because most fragrances in this genre go the darker/woodier route... this kind of breaks the mold in that it has a bright effervescent freshness and cleanliness to it that keeps it from going that route. And the ozonic touch very much gives it a vibe of "clean mountain air" that almost has a crisp chill to it. Its 25% parfum concentration but 76.32% of the formula is naturals, so this only does justice if sprayed on skin where it opens up and blooms. This is a very complex fragrance (in a good way) that goes through many changes as it develops. Nothing about this smells dated or like an "old" fragrance.

@@StatikOlfactive Oh my! It's the perfumer. Thanks so much for the detailed comment, this helps me understand way better what's distinctive about Into the Wild. If I understand you right, it's *in the spirit of* a once-popular genre without trying to be a faithful reproduction of a particular composition. (Versus, for example 2014's Special for Gentlemen by Le Galion or 2010's Fougere Royale Extrait by Houbigant, both of which are trying to resurrect particular compositions whilst also making them smell more approachable/wearable for a contemporary audience.) Also: I should mention that my prediction/guess about its resemblance to older green freshies was not intended as a slight/insult to the perfume. (In fact, kind of the opposite.) Even if it were not super original, the fact that it's a high-concentration + high-natural-% bottle in an under-appreciated style which hasn't suffered the degradations of time & UV radiation would already make it worthwhile and even exciting to have on the market!

Appreciate the feedback! As a long time member of the fragrance community, i feel $150 is the absolute TOPS that anyone new that comes out with their own release should be charging... PROVIDED that the quality of the fragrance warrants it. I have spared absolutely NO expense with this fragrance, and the quality of it speaks for itself. It is 25% parfum concentration and 76.32% of the formula is natural ingredients. And the naturals sourced for this fragrance are only the best quality one can get, with a lot of absolutes and special ingredients within. I've also had this fragrance rigorously tested to conform with IFRA's standards set forth to make sure that everything is safe and legal and compliant and i have all the proper documentation to back that up. All those things are very costly. And right now while I'm starting out, everything is made in very small batches, so not being a big fragrance house that can buy kilos of ingredients at a time, my costs for ingredients are VERY high. Ingredients sourced for this come from all over the world, and small local farmers in distant places are the ones that provide these ingredients. Not to mention that i am not the perfumer... the perfumer for this is a very well known amazing perfumer within the industry with over 25 years in the perfume and personal care industry. I would love for you try try this fragrance so you can see for yourself. I've actually had MANY people tell me, including the perfumer, that i am selling myself short and i should be charging more for this, but i feel $150 is very fair, given that like you said, I am an unknown house with an unknown release. 🙏

Sauvage, BDC and Aventus are no longer THEE generic perfumes in the industry. Armani SWY, Azzaro Wanted line and JPG Le Male line is taking over that spot my friends. Mark my words, its happening already on the low but soon those perfume lines will be the new most hated (generic, boring) scents. I foresee in a couple of years scents with Iris will get their share of hate, its a cycle thanks to the big houses copying each other every single year. Now coffee and booze will be the wave thanks to scents like Angel's Share and its myriad of clones, then there will be another succesfull DNA that every house will copy and that one will get the hate hammer too sooner or later. To complete the cycle with a perverted twist, Sauvage and Aventus will come back and be the wifestealers they once claimed to be...round goes the wheel, the snake eats its tail.

That is a great question, and i can tell you EXACTLY why that is. I'm a long time member of the fragrance community and there is a member in those groups that is well known as probably the biggest troll in all of the community and biggest hater of all things. He's always posting these outrageous "hot takes" and stirring the pot with everyone so one day about a year ago i called him out on a bunch of his BS, and he doesn't like that when people do that, and holds a grudge seemingly till the end of time because of it. So i blocked him after that and moved on. Little over a month ago, Into the Wild gets added to Fragrantica and a lot of people i know were talking about it and giving such positive reviews in the groups and he started trashing Into the Wild everywhere saying it is the worst thing he has ever smelled, smells like dog crap, smells like axe body spray mixed with bathroom cleaner, etc etc... and he has never even smelled it. That same day i notice a bunch of newly made fragrantica troll profiles that left bad reviews and downvoted everything and voted all these aftershaves and axe and all for what "this perfume reminds me of". This was him. If this is how he gets his jollies then so be it, no sweat off my back! That rating will be counteracted soon enough as more and more people get their nose on this one. It is what i is, and like George said, that site is full of trolls that love to just bash things for what reason, i have no idea. Can never truly go off fragrantica, use it more so as a "guide" haha.
