Stink, Stank, Stunk: Scatamalis by Jeffrey Dame

And in the second part of the “Blame (or thank) VerbenaLuvvr” one of the extras that Mr. Jeffrey Dame sent along with my order of Juste Filthy was the cream base of Scatamalis. This is the six base notes of Juste Filthy; just(e) patchouli, vetiver, cedar, civet, skatole and musk.

Shy it’s not.

Now I do know that it is kind of weird that I will spend money on something that makes me kind of stinky after spending gobs of money and literally hours trying to make sure that there is absolutely no natural smell coming off me at all. Nature, Mr. Allnut, and all that. But some of my favorite scents are ones that, to some people, just stink. I have and love the long gone Untitled #8 by Brent Leonesio, have and love at least five on Patty’s list of musk fragrances, missing only one (and still kicking myself for that..) holy grail.

This one stinks.

I would wear it on it’s own because I am just that way. I would also use it to add some oomph to scents that had ben neutered by reformulation and the ravages of time. Not just ones that you would think of, but ones like Chanel No.5, which I believe back in the day had a sneaky little bit of animalic in it. Since you can get a small cream for $8 (and they do trial sizes of the other, less intimidating scents in the line) you can decide for yourself whether this is a yes or a “oh hell to the no!”

I clearly decided “yes!” (but don’t worry, I’ll warn you I’m coming..)

Have you tried these? Are they Green Acres good IYO or landfill lousy? Lets discuss in the comments. (and if you have shankier ones I am dying to know..

My items were purchased from the perfumer, except the cream, which was a GWP.
