Inexcusable Evil
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive marvel. Many adore its melancholic, atmospheric vibe, citing its rainy rose and earthy facets. Others, however, find it repulsive, describing it as 'peppery dirt' or 'farty rose'. Definitely not for a blind-buy-sample first, if you dare to step into its shadowy embrace.
This one is exactly what it says on the tin: an inexcusable, evil, challenging experience. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent - a work of art for some, an unwearable nightmare for others. Don't say you weren't warned.
