L'Anarchiste, in its eye-catching copper tombstone bottle, projects a bad-boy image echoed in its reputation of smelling like blood. Thus it was a bit surprising, upon spraying it, to discover that it has a rich and sophisticated smell, reminding me of the gentlemen's club my grandfather used to belong to. And by gentlemen's club, I mean swimming pools, saunas, a library, and the powdery after-shaves of an earlier generation; there are no women to be found, much less skimpily-clad ones offering lapdances.
The mint-and-orange opening accord does have a slightly metallic aspect, and in this sense, the blood simile makes sense; however, this is a secondary and underlying theme; the major theme is a fairly conventionally good-smelling men's fragrance.
