Atkinsons Bizarre is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1979. Bizarre opens with Spicy, Bergamot, Lemon, and Aldehydes, and settles into a heart of Rose and Lily Of The Valley. Atkinsons's Bizarre carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This 80s relic is more than just nostalgic; it's a divisive trip down memory lane! For some, it's a "stormy", "dominant and glacial" green floral with vibrant aldehydes; for others, a harsh blast of hairspray. Most agree it's unforgettable, whether for good or ill.

Its fresh and clean profile lends itself well to casual and everyday wear, though its potentially 'stormy' aldehyde kick might be a bit much for a formal setting. Its historical context as a popular teenage scent suggests a more relaxed, playful suitability.

About

Bizarre opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of aldehydes, zesty bergamot, and lemon, underscored by a fresh spicy kick. This bright, almost storm-like initial impression mellows into a clean, soapy heart of delicate rose and potent lily-of-the-valley. It's a fresh, green floral that some find innocent and others find overpowering, evoking an era of bold simplicity.
