Odeur 71 (M)

The anti-perfume to end all anti-perfumes. Dust on a hot lightbulb, bamboo, metal, electricity, and lettuce juice…no exaggeration! What does it smell like, though? Surprisingly, it’s a perfectly wearable aroma; metal and electricity combine to create the energizing scent of ozone right before a storm, and the mix of we-don’t-know-what creates a familiar soapy freshness. Your clean, gorgeous Xerox machine serves out hot clothing straight from the dryer. Odeur 71, which was first released in 2000, continues to generate a stir-not just because of its groundbreaking aroma structure, but also because it’s proof that combining the strange with the extraordinary may result in a genuinely great fragrance.
