Our verdict on Slow Explosions: Statement

Slow Explosions is truly a force of nature - a bold, divisive scent that you'll either adore or actively scrub off. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for those who dare to be different, embracing its unique, loud character. Not a safe blind-buy, but utterly irresistible if it clicks.

This fragrance is strong and long-lasting with significant projection, making it too overwhelming for an office environment.

About

Slow Explosions thrusts you into a complex, almost disorienting blend of sweet and industrial. It opens with an unapologetically strong saffron and a tart, almost boozy apple, quickly joined by rich, lived-in leather. A subtle, non-traditional rose rounds out the heart, adding a touch of floral softness against the warmer, animalic and amber undertones, preventing it from leaning too masculine. The metallic tang asserts itself throughout, hinting at something edgy and modern beneath the spice and sweetness.
