Askew
Eau de Toilette Concentrée
by Humiecki & Graef



The Scoop
Inspired by fury. There is a bold swagger to the sharp, almost medicinal opening that puts one instantly on notice: stinging grapefruit, percolating ginger and the bite of something mentholated. As the fragrance develops, smoother elements such as soft leather and earthy vetiver come into play – but they never coax Askew into being comforting or tame. There is a crackling of static electricity like the air before a thunderstorm and the dark and brooding shadow of birch tar, which dominates the blend. A sharp and sweet gingered mimosa fizzes on the surface like the rakish grin of a con man. Dynamic and volatile, this is a classic men’s scent deconstructed by bad boy perfumer Christophe Laudamiel. He takes all the traditional elements – citrus, spice, leather – and tweaks them to create a fiercely compelling fragrance with an angular beauty all its own.

This perfume smells not so much like a consuming firey anger, but a smoldering vengeful one. Warm, and for some odd reason muscy on my skin.

My goodness, this is absolutely a fantastic scent. It is supposed to be a masculine fragrance that I usually don't prefer. Askew smells so gorgeous on me. Good job, Mr. Humiecki and Mr. Graef.

um...ok...let me try to give a more useful description :-) Imagine Eau de Cartier Concentrate with less melon and a bit of leather. Or, alternately, Visit by Azzaro (for men) minus the menthol, add a bit of leather, and with a tiny drop (maybe) of Cool Water. Long lasting. Good. Worth trying. Different

In name, Askew is apt. It holds all the classic man's fragrance notes (citrus, marine notes, leather) and holds them in a different light. It's hard to explain, but I'll do my best. The leather and tar are present from the get-go, slightly warm and brown-orange colored. Yet the citrus-ginger accord weighs down like sheets of dry ice; it doesn't feel like atmospheric cold, more chemical and harsh. This icy blast covers the warm leather, holding it down. It's not oppressively strong but it holds the leather firmly in place. One can actually picture two layers to this scent, even in extreme dry-down. Imagine a person, warm and pulsing, trapped in a walk-in freezer, clad in aromatic leather. Askew is weird and doesn't seem anything that I'd like. But it's strange duality makes it so damn interesting. It's not only art, though. It's extremely pleasant and wearable. Rage? No. Maybe isolation, despair, entrapment, numbness. Any way it seems, it's beautiful. Lasting power is excellent but I do wish it wasn't so expensive!
