  Curious perfume, not something I’d wear as a routine. It smells like rough, potent leather, like Dark Lord by Kilian or The Lovers Tale by Francesca Bianchi. The birch tar gives it a very smoky tone, almost like barbecue embers due to its woody nature. In the background, there’s a slight balsamic sweetness, but overall it’s strong, punchy, and a bit medicinal. The blend has a classic vibe, reminiscent of Rook by Rook Perfumes or Bravo by Ramón Monegal. It feels very natural, typical of the brand, though it’s not for me. That said, the quality and olfactory experience are worth it; it’s a monster in terms of longevity. Scent: 7.5, Longevity: 10, Sillage: 7, Value for Money: 5, Versatility: 5, Originality: 9, Overall: 8.

  An interesting perfume, though not something I’d wear regularly. On one hand, I find a rough, potent leather scent, in the line of perfumes like Dark Lord by Kilian or The Lovers Tale by Francesca Bianchi. On the other, the birch tar gives it a very smoky tone; because it’s also woody, it sometimes reminds me of the smell of barbecue embers. Overall, there’s a slight balsamic sweetness, but it’s a strong, punchy perfume, even a bit medicinal. The final blend has a certain classic air, reminding me of perfumes like Rook by Rook Perfumes or Bravo by Ramón Monegal. It feels very natural, as is typical for the brand, though as I said, it’s not for me. That said, regarding quality and olfactory experience, it’s worth it. It’s a beast in terms of longevity. Scent: 7.5, Longevity: 10, Sillage: 7, Value for Money: 5, Versatility: 5, Originality: 9, Overall: 8.

  In summary: a smoky smoke for me, with a touch of sweetness I can’t quite place. The performance and projection are good, but they don’t stand out in a comparative context at this level of perfumery.

  In short: a smoky smoke for me, with a touch of sweetness I can’t quite place. The performance and projection are good, but they don’t stand out too much compared to other perfumes at this level.

  Brutal experience for lovers of smoke and smoky scents. Hyde is, without a doubt, a coal tar bomb. The opening is aggressive, almost a dark and dense hit, with that nuance that many describe as bacon or burnt fat. For me, it reminded me a lot of City on Fire by Imaginary Authors, with that same fiery darkness of charred wood and hot asphalt. I won’t lie: at first, it was tough. The opening wasn’t pleasant at all; I felt wrapped in a thick cloud that was hard to handle with ease. It’s one of those perfumes that either make you fall in love or repel you, with no middle ground. But over time, something magical happens: the tar dissipates, revealing an unexpected warmth, a sweet and woody smokiness with vanilla that softens the initial roughness. That second phase is gorgeous, rich, and enveloping, like a campfire at sunset in the middle of winter. And if there’s one thing you can’t take away from it, it’s its longevity; it performs well and seems determined not to be forgotten. Despite how much it intrigued me and how potent it is, I don’t think it’s for me. Maybe as a concept or an artistic piece, I value it immensely, but I can’t imagine wearing it daily, especially in heat, where it can become overwhelming. Hyde isn’t a perfume to like; it’s a proposal to feel, to confront, and to remember.

  Intense experience, for the brave among smoke and smoky scent lovers. Hyde is, without mincing words, a smoke and tar bomb. The opening is aggressive, almost shocking: a dark, dense hit, with that nuance that many describe as “bacon” or burnt fat. For me, it reminded me quite a bit of City on Fire by Imaginary Authors, with that same fiery darkness that seems to speak of charred wood and hot asphalt. I won’t lie: at first, it was tough. The opening wasn’t pleasant for me at all. I felt wrapped in a thick cloud, hard to ignore and even harder to handle with ease. It’s one of those perfumes that either you love or you completely repel. There is no middle ground. But as the hours pass, something magical happens. The tar dissipates little by little, and an unexpected warmth emerges: a sweet, woody smokiness with vanilla touches that soften the initial roughness. That second phase is beautiful, rich, and enveloping, like a campfire at sunset in the middle of winter. And if there’s one thing you can’t take away from it, it’s its longevity; it performs well due to the nature of the notes, as if it were determined not to be forgotten. Despite how much it intrigued me and the potency of the experience, I don’t think it’s a perfume for me. Maybe as a concept, as an artistic piece, I value it immensely. But I can’t imagine wearing it daily. And even less in hot weather, where it can become overwhelming. Hyde isn’t a perfume to like. It’s a proposal to feel, to confront, to remember.
