I kind of love that so many people hate this. How fitting for a perfume inspired by a Yorgos Lanthimos movie! I fell in love with this really fast because it smells like rain, and not the fantasy of rain that so many people seem to want in their perfume, but the wet-dog reality of it. People seem to really want to smell like the forest, but this perfume almost seems to be asking, “Do you *really* want to smell like the forest? Do you know what’s *in* the forest?!” And the answer, of course, is a whole mess of dead things– dead things we’ll eventually join. Makes perfect sense that people would be averse to a perfume that seems so intent on reminding its wearers of their mortality, which is so perfect for the source material, not to mention GOTH AS FUCK.
I can’t help but admire Mark Buxton for making a perfume that makes me ask myself some pretty heavy questions. Who are we to deny our animal nature? What’s the point of trying to smell like roses when we all know we’re going to the same place? Why not acknowledge the truth of our fallibility, and maybe even embrace it? What an excellent example of perfume as art.
This isn’t to say The Lobster is all confrontation. It’s kind of piney and foggy in a way that both flatters the hell out of my skin and smells like getting lost. It smells like skipping town without telling anyone. I like to wear this on moody, overcast days when I’m feeling ~*~*complicated*~*~

This perfume smells differently on than sprayed on a sample card. On the card it smells just like the first rain after a drought. Wet earth. On my skin in smells kind of like fresh herbs sage lavender and rosemary. Fresh yet musky at the same time. The dry down smells fresh and powdery. I would wear this. I would like to see how this scent layers with a more citrusy scent.

Interesting but not for me. Very “earthy”, literally smells like a damp mossy forest floor (plus a certain haunting extra note; hard to describe). If you like unique scents check it out!
