Description
Nowhere Fast is inspired by the song that goes by the same name and was very succesful in the 1980’s, from the movie Streets of Fire. “The perfume created by Sven under my creative direction evokes the smell of burned matchsticks alluding to my past, but also the scent of an energy that lasts only a few seconds. It is a work of flames, smoke, coal, hot bodies in movement and leather jackets. More than just a fragrance, this piece was created according to a methodology and concept of a work not necessarily destined to adorn a body, although that dimension is also possible. The body is invoked even if the liquid is not applied on the skin. The fragrance, disturbing and intense in its sulphurous and carnal dimension, illustrates the clip’s images and the sensations the music provokes in me, as well as the reference to the time passing by. It is an olfactory and subjective version of rock’s euphoria and the medium itself, an allusion to the fugacious character of sensation, of life. A scent remains during a limited period of time and fades away without leaving a trail. The perfume is in itself an ephemeral work, just like fire. Even a flame leaves behind a trace, the coal, the ash…” Miguel Matos
Nowhere Fast was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Sven Pritzkoleit.

It does exactly what it’s supposed to: a faithful copy of a match being lit that lingers just long enough to give this perfume its uniqueness. I would assume that such a note that usually disappears quickly was not easy to capture and formulate. The scent is less musky than and longevity (understandably) is below that of another SP offering and more in line with the comparative lightness of the collaborations with Miguel. There is some hint of citrus (coming from the aldehydes?) which keeps it much more optimistic than the rest of the notes would suggest. Good job.

Smells like matches, dark, coal like or what you expect near an active volcano. I appreciate the uniqueness and best worn casually, ie not an office or date scent.
