Reviewing Peety is something different than reviewing other fragrances from Angelo. This happens because my first hate and despise and dismiss for what Angelo had to offer in O’DRIÚ started with the launchment of this one. Was Angelo mocking all perfume lovers by creating something that would suggest you to enhance it using your own pee? I took my perfume passion too serious and i let my prejudices win me on this. I hated peety, i wrote about my feelings and then moved on. And since life is very ironic, here i am today seeing that i was wrong and there was something very solid about Angelo work if you cut through the provocative aura.
Peety is a junction of words: pee and pity, but not pity in a condescending way. It’s interesting to see that the latin word from which pity derives, Pieta, goes into a more divine direction, something related to devotion and loyalty. Thinking about the junction of words it seems to have two meanings here: a unique bond between the perfumer and the final user and at the same time a narcissism of a person, an almost religious devotion to itself, something that is very suitable in our modern days.
It is described as a dadaistic perfume, which at the first time i thought odd since most of dadaism artworks seems devoid of a easy to read meaning for me, which is not the case here. But then, searching about dadaísm i could understand why: Peety is in its essence a dadaístic perfume in a way that it challenges the culture and values of current perfumes – in special the frivolous way which the industry sell massive uniqueness, a fragrance that it’s so special to you and for other thousands of people like you. And it certainly uses an outrageous element – pee – to scandalize and shock the audience and I’m a proof of that.
But i wanted to understand, after all, if adding your pee to peety would be just a way to criticize the system or a very avant-gard and radical way to make something unique, bespoke to you. I thought, a fragrance is full of elements that are added to preserve it, so would a few drops of urine ruin it? Also, if we have always accepted materials like beeswax (which is regurgitated by bees), ambergris (whale’s vomite), civet (extracted from the anal glands of civet) and musk (also from glands), what would be using your own pee? Just another animalic material, this one got in a ecofriendly fashion.
Wearing Peety without pee is already in itself a satisfying experience. Again i see the classic influens of Angelo showing on here, from a scent that seems to incorporate fougere, animalic and sweet fruity aspects altogether. It has that chamaleonic aura that many classics have, one that keeps you guessing what you are wearing: it’s sweet, riped fruits? Or maybe dry spices? What about aromatic herbs against sensual ylang? Or even an animalic castoreum combined with dry amber and patchouli? And what about a sweet and smoky tobacco aroma against a minty-like ginger? Those are the varied layers of Peety and it’s a very rich experience trying to pay attention into all of them.
Using my own pee on Peety in fact changed this experience. I added three drops to half of my sample and expected two weeks before wearing it a day after i wore the regular one. I expected a more fruity nuance to emerge based on what i discussed with Angelo, but curiously Peety got very focused and chaneled a very good masculine fougere chypre from 80’s in this incarnation. Suddenly a clove-ish aura got stronger in contrast with dirty musks, patchouly, making the herbs standing too. It seemed to exhale a very mainly aura, almost raw and keept from being too much by the subtle sweetness showed in the resins of the base, constrasting with some hints of moss. It wasn’t something outrageous or shocking, it gave me more a nostalgia feeling of a time where fragrances seemed to be made from a singular vision to be shared and appreciated with the ones that enjoyed it. It seems to fulfill the first meaning of pity instead the second one and it was a moment of breaking through what was a taboo for me. Still, i think this will be the first and the last time that i wear my own pee as the final layering touch in a fragrance.

Initially like Kouros, dries down like a civet infused New York without the powdery elements, ala Old Spice. Very lovely, but could’ve been more original.
I think personalizing this with my own urine would’ve been a step too far, considering already uric nature ofthe fragrance.
tatcefretwrok – :
Peety is a smoldering hot, thick, furry, animalic honey-tobacco. Upon initial application I was not a fan. I liked the animalic civetty underbelly, but I wasnt too fond of the oozing bubblegummy honey over top. I’ve smelled something similar before with one of Olympic Orchid’s Dev scents. The sweet spiciness is so thick and heavy that it makes me queasy, like eating a gallon of honey and riding a merry go round in 90 degree weather or something. Eventually the animalic notes sort of balance out with the honey and some other notes come into focus. I definitely smell tobacco, as well as a very slight rose, and that same dirty, dirty patchouli from Byredo’s m/mink. After the slight shift 5 minutes in, this stays fiercely linear. 20+ hours of the same thick, sweet honey, tobacco, patchouli scent.
If I was reviewing this objectively, I would give it a fairly good score. It’s high quality and fairly unique. But personally, and I think some amount of subjectivity in a review is a good thing, I do not enjoy wearing this and find the urine aspect quite gimmicky. It is simply too sweet, too thick, and too linear. Maybe in the dead of winter in some blizzard-esque conditions Peety would shine, but for me It’s like smearing globs of spiced honey on sweaty skin and sticking animal fur over top. I only have a sample so I haven’t tried the personalized version yet, maybe next time I’ll piss my pants while wearing it and see what kind of compliments it gets me.

A perfectly balanced blend of tobacco, cinnamon, sandalwood, amber, tonka, and patch, with a touch of bitter orange. I love the way cinnamon is used here. It is certainly present, but it melds so beautifully with the other notes that it never becomes overpowering or jarring. Nope, there is nothing sharp in this perfume, it’s as smooth as a perfume could possibly be. It reminds me very much of a dark rum.
This is one to own.
Peety smells like a reduced sugar holiday spice cake.
Now as for “personalizing” it with my own urine? Unique concept, I’d be tempted to try it.

Peety is one of the most sensual, seductive perfumes I have ever smelled. It trips the pleasure centers of your brain and rocks your perfume world. Amazingly alluring and complex. You can pick out individual notes, but the Kama Sutra mix is like nothing else. Spicy, sexy and warm – a decadent evening fragrance. The brilliant ratio of ingredients has great sillage and longevity, but is not overpowering, and to me very unisex. Anyone that wears this will up their appeal by magnitudes.
Omigewweicy – :
Complex and sensual. I do smell quite a bit of rose at the opening (just a few minutes), but it settles down into such a beautiful rich seductive patchouli. Simply irresistible. A bit too masculine for a woman, but on a man OH MYYYY :O
edit: after wearing it a few more times..stealing it from my husband. It is on my wish list and can not wait to get a full bottle for myself. This beauty is a pure turn on no matter who wears it.

i really wonder why did Angelo thought of adding pee to this fragrance in particular! i know he wants it as a fetish! but honestly i already smell pee in it! i don’t know wither if my mind is creating that image as a cause of him saying that or maybe the mixage of the Jasmine, lime, and citrus that creates this effect!
i can’t deny it’s creativity as i think it has that kind of lime in Absolue Pour le Soir by Francis! but there is something good in it and something bad as well that makes me rejects it in some way, i really wonder what! and i wish it’s not metallic note.
i really thought it will be something amazingly bizarre as he describes it, but all i can say it’s good! i can smell the dark in it after few minutes and it’s not tobacco, it’s the powdery cinnamon mixed with pepper on a bed of Jasmine citrus. the Bitter lemon is shown quite sharp in the middle note hinted by tonka beans. MAYBE the sandalwood, but the amber and patchouli is detected somehow. after all it deserves to be sampled.

If Aloe Blacc’s song “The Man” could be translated to fragrance format, this would be it. You probably thought you’d never run across a non girly floral…well this is it. If you can single out at least 6 of the notes in the opening, then your nose deserves to be in the Museum of Arts and Designs. With that being said, eventually you’re able to smell the entire perfume pyramid on your skin. This is a complicated floral and one to be explained in Layman’s Terms. To keep it somewhat simple: This floral is bittersweet and uber musky. Although labeled as a floral musk, that can be a little misleading. That’s like saying Will Smith is a rapper. Peety has tonka but it’s not a gourmand. It has rose but I can’t summarily pass this off as a rosey fragrance. The fun notes are present such as jasmine, tobacco, some orangey stuff etc..but like I said, all the notes are noticeable for the most part. Realistically, the note breakdown is a waste of time. All you need to know is if you’re a manly man then you need to at least check this one out. Here’s another tidbit for further perspective, Peety is in my top 20 of all time favorite fragrances.

EN. For this fragrance its initial phase has insignificant meaning, well, not as you would have when you complete the creative process proposed in the insert, attached to the perfume’s pack… However, it’s a must to complete the idea of Angelo Orazio Pregoni at least for these three simple reasons:
1. The bottle would be filled to the volume for which it was designed;
2. The perfume becomes more animalistic and not just woody like it could remain if the mixture would never created;
3. None of your friends would ever steal it, or even ask you just to try it..
IT. In questo profumo la sua fase iniziale, ha poco significato, cioè non come lo avrebbe invece il risultato del processo, proposto nel foglietto illustrativo, allegato a quest’ultimo… Comunque, vale la pena completare l’idea di Angelo Orazio Pregoni almeno per tre semplici motivi:
1. La bottiglia viene riempita al volume per cui è stata progettata;
2. Il profumo diventa più animalesco, invece di rimanere legnoso se la miscela non viene creata;
3. Nessuno dei tuoi amici te lo ruberebbe più, ma neanche chiederebbe il campioncino.

I recently received a sample of Peety and am pleased with this unique scent. I have read all the posts pertaining to this perfume and am impressed that none of the posters have anything bad to say about Peety. As far as adding urine – I think that is brilliant. I tried it and quite honestly attracted most of the woman at a recent convention I attended. I’m no Adonis but noticed that the woman kept coming near me to get a hint of my amazing odour. This product is exciting and has given me confidence and makes me feel amazing. And yes I did go home with a beautiful girl at the end of the evening. Thanks Peety – I owe you one.

Slightly deceptive, Peety starts out on what appears to be a new path for O’Driu but then switches direction, heading instead toward more familiar aromatic territory.
The initial application reminded me a little of L’Ombre Fauve’s patchouli muskiness placed over a series of balmy notes. Initially absent was the standard aromatic blast of herbs that dominate many of the scents from this line, replaced instead with a warm and inviting coumarin kind of feel—not quite vanilla, but sweeter than tonka or benzoin. And then as if from out of nowhere, hot spicy notes and herbal flourishes come striding in positioning Peety as back in familiar territory.
While the herbs and spices start to take over, it retains some of its warmth, creating a bit of a juxtaposition. I picked up on some candied citrus upfront that reminded me a little of Bohemian Black’s herbal limoncello opening in which culinary spices and candied lemons converge. The spices are sharper and more “pink” here than in the Matriarch—more of a combination of clove, cinnamon, and pepper with a slightly sweaty cardamom lurking around as well. Subtle minty facets pop up, but I think this is perhaps residue from one of the floral notes. Once the scent has reoriented itself on this more traditional O’Driu aromatic path, it stays fairly linear and consistent throughout, wearing as quite cooling given the hot nature of some of the spices.
I’ve smelled a lot of O’Driu perfumes, and this is really the first to embrace such amber-y characteristics, and it seems to work in the scents favor. While I’m personally a bit unsure about how successfully balmy notes function when placed against sharp, almost medicinal herbs, the scent stands out from the rest of the line. It’s still O’Driu—meaning that it’s kind of weird—but this one of the more accessible scents that I’ve smelled from the brand. Of course it’s no secret by now that you’re supposed to top this scent off, but I’ve opted to pass on this part of the process so that I can focus more intently on what’s already present. I think it’s a good scent overall—one of the better from the line, but a still a few notches away from something like Lalfeogrigio.

I really love this perfume,and it embodies civilized use of animalics to me. I wouldn’t wear it to work, but I would wear it anywhere else that I can think of. It has excellent longevity on my scent-eating skin, and modest sillage after the initial blast. It’s especially lovely for fireside evenings. I haven’t personalized it, because I only gave a tiny decant and love it the way it is, but I agree that it’s a bit silly to wear civet but be horrified at the idea of a tiny bit of urine. Mostly, I wish it were less expensive. 150 Euros for a 50ml bottle seems too high to me. But I will relish my decant.

Pre-Personalisation
Feeling a fizzy citric opening with herbal accents and a little powderiness joining later (tonka?), all backed up with a purring animalic warmth. 6 hours in now and it’s delicious. Somehow classical yet modern, it’s a beautiful trick to play and so hard to sit on that knife edge. The drydown has some similarities with Chypre Palatin, with it’s not quite chypre radiant alive nature.
“Brand new you’re retro” , Tricky.
It feels as if it would be current in 1892 or 2092, it’s a wonderful effect. If Guerlain released this today (obviously sans pee inclusion) it would be hailed as the second coming of Jacques Guerlain, high praise but it’s got a timeless quality that’s hard to describe.
It’s beautifully radiant and wafting, not aggressive, but assertive. Still performing great after 6+ hours. In terms of it’s controversial nature, I think it’s isn’t some kind of beast at all. It’s approachable, interesting, unique but has anchors in the past, and a warm furry castoreum animalic nature, but nothing to be scared of in the slightest. In fact I would have liked it to be more barbaric, but I’ll take that back as it would reduce the great wearability, that’s one of Peety’s strengths. It’s perfect as it is.
Still pre-personalisation, but about 1ml leaked out during shipping, so it’ll be a 2ml pee pee personalisation this evening, for extra subliminal power.
I’ll revert with personalised comments tomorrow…

Post-Personalisation
Peety is a very clever creation, post personalisation I can see how it was blended to share some urinous accords to blend and subliminally suggest the pee. It accents not the ammonia aspect but the steam off your piss accord. I’m sorry I couldn’t think of a better way to phrase that.
At opening the bitter sour citric accord is extended and intensified, and the powdery vanilic/tonka element is supressed slightly only emerging in the heart. Overall the animalic warmth is still present but takes a more feral edgy direction. Alfarom mentioned a metallic accord appearing in the personalised version, and I’m noticing this too. The heart is smoother and more saturated, the closest approximation I can think of is the effect of adding Iso Super E to a fragrance, things are a little more diffuse and blurred. I notice a new coffee note in the heart, which is interesting as I drank coffee heavily yesterday. The drydown shares the ever so slightly crotchy animalic warmth of the original, perhaps intensified slightly.
The whole thing is still smooth as butter and believe me no-one is going to think you sprayed yourself with piss (unless you tell them). Please don’t misunderstand, this perfume (personalised or not) is really not very challenging at all, if you dig AplS, Peety will seem tame. Do not be scared… I loved the unaugmented version (a beautiful perfume), but I prefer the personalised version for what it is. It’s a performance piece, a little bit of art and self-expression, and there is just something very special about that. You either get it or you don’t…
To be honest I wasn’t expecting the change to be as marked as it has been, and I can only guess the balance of actual/subliminal effects. Pre testing I think I was a little sceptical (but still intrigued) of the whole personalisation aspect, but I have been won over, Peety is wonderful stuff, a masterpiece even.

I’m leaning towards considering Peety, by far, the best fragrance by Pregoni. This is glorious!!!
The usual lemongrass-dark herbal-vanillish combo of O’Driù is joined by a “bearish” smell. Smells like a bear … the opening is not as brutal as other previous Pregoni’s fragrances. There’s some Laurhum in it, some Lalfeogrigio and, yes, even some Leva but somwhat, smells different from any other O’Driù I experienced so far. It’s like O’Driù remixed. The main hallmarks are there but they’re assembled to result completely different from the original…
The remarkable animalic presence is not disturbing at all. It’s a combination between amber gris and castoreum to my nose even if I initially thought it was civet (hence the opening’s bearish smell). It provides great warmness and depth and it’s joined by rose, woods galore and a moderately sweet vanilla/tonka/cinnamon combo. There’s an overall dryness provided by pepper and woods but the composition never walks the line of harshness. In fact, it’s smooth and extremely refined while mantaining an overall assertive character.
There’s nothing challenging about this fragrance if not the first couple of minutes of animalic-spicy blast. Composition-wise, I find it excellent and, honestly, I’ve never smelled something like it. There’s a funny aspect going on during the evolution: The fragrance opens with a blast to soon settle down to a moderately powerful middle phase. When you’re ready to think it’s almost gone, it surprises you by starting to tremendously radiate. This final phase (which is the best part of the whole fragrace) goes on and on and on for several hours. The magic of synthetics.
———————
The *personalized* version, while showing some remarkable differences, at the same time it doesn’t feel *radically* different. The fragrance still preserves a thick leathery-musky-balmy structure but the vanillla, after the initial blast, gets tamed down brutally leaving space to a nice appleish-cinnamon combo that while sounding gourmandish, it totally skips the edible aspect of the accord introducing a metallic, sort of nose-tingling vibe the drives the fragrance towards more modern territories. The interesting aspect is that, despite the slightly metallic accord, Peety still feels incredibly warm, subtly animalic and sort of visceral. Again, there’s NOTHING challenging about this composition, in fact, is quite easy to like. What, IMO, really changes from the “standard” version is that the base is less woody, less peppery and more about a spicy floral musk combo. The woods get almost killed in the “augmented” version.
A funny thing I’d like to point out after several wearings is that Peety works subliminally. You think it’s gone but then you get whiffs of its peculiar projection and this goes on and on and on…Projection! This is the point of stregth of this stuff. Don’t get me wrong, Peety is not a projection monster (at least not after the first two hours or so) but I find it smelling a lot differently when smelled up close. This is a very well done fragrance but if smelled in projection, this stuff is killer. So unique. That’s why I personally believe a paper strip test doesn’t give justice to the composition.
In the end, I’ve to say that with or without the P, this is a top quality fragrance. Both the two versions are well worth experiencing if you’re into original fragrances. Again, unique without being odd.
Rating: 8.5/10

I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. After all ‘Peety’ & it’s added ‘pee’ note only follows on from fine French perfumery tradition (i.e. of adding ‘animalic’ notes to a perfume to increase it’s beauty.) – ‘Pee/urine’ is after all really not much different from say ‘civet’ or ‘castoreum’. (except much milder !) – & has the added advantage of here at least being your very own ‘animalic note’.
This perfume is actually supposed to be composed of mostly natural ingredients (no ‘pun’ intended) 🙂 – with 96% natural & only 3% synthetic components. (+ the remaining 1% your own.)
After having sniffed a sample of Peety (which was previously known as Secraction), with both the self-added & non added ‘pee’ component. I can attest that it does indeed make a different (albeit not a very pronounced one.) – And the fragrance can easily be appreciated/worn with or without the ‘pee’ component. However it IS very interesting to note the subtle differences it gives the composition. … Personally I would say that the 3% synthetics were probably the long lasting ‘amber’ base notes, which were added in the interest of better projection & especially longevity. As a mostly all-natural composition I’d say this is actually a rather pleasant ‘oriental’ type perfume. So there’s no need to be put off by it’s more ‘avant-garde’ aspect (or, let’s face it, ‘marketing strategy’) as it’s really quite an interesting concept IMO.
