Pippilotta by Le Frag

“La Tomatina” is a festival in Buñol, Valencia, where they throw tomatoes into the air. This scent makes me think of that, as if I were rolling in a sea of ripe oranges and white flowers, substituting the festival’s tomatoes. It’s one of those ‘chaotic and mischievous’ perfumes, polarising. I don’t know if it’s something about me or if I’m already getting sick of this floral, citrusy, animalic, and eternal fragrance, designed solely for partying. Little Brother and Mr Nilsson confirm it. 🤟 If you’re not in this ‘vibe’, this isn’t for you; don’t waste your time. After six months with this lethal weapon, oxidation has done its work, and I guarantee that ‘with this on’, people make way wherever you go. It’s an atomic bomb. It’s like putting a drop of Fairy dish soap in a plate of water; once you’ve finished eating and rinsed it off, that’s the reaction of some. I love it… Hahaha

In the line of this gentleman: bottled arrogance. I imagine Miguel Matos combining abject synthetic molecules without rhyme or reason. Wait for his acolytes to say it’s a wonder for a select few. It’s colossal rubbish. If you want to smell like fertiliser, use it and boast about your pituitary while others slowly die smelling such a monstrosity. It lasts too long and works wonders if you have a cochineal infestation; it wipes them out so you’re amazed, the bad thing is it also kills the plant.

When I received the samples from Le Frag, I was sure Genesis was my favourite. I liked both, but Pippilotta made me feel more known and intrusive, with an animalic and syrupy leather part that made me think: I love it, but when would I wear this? Yesterday I left the sample with my partner and my perception changed. What a sexy and addictive trail it left wherever it went; I couldn’t stop following it. Pippilotta is like Garbancito’s chickpeas to attract people. This floral and animalic blend is addictive and makes you want to follow the trail. That strong and strange point when smelling it up close is lost in the trail, much more pleasant, elegant and sexy. I thought it was for daytime events, but yesterday I saw it’s great for going out at night to hook up. I made a mistake… now I don’t know which I like more. I’ll go on two trips and then we’ll see. Another masterpiece by Miguel Matos and a great choice by Aga. Scent: 10, Longevity: 10, Projection: 7, Versatility: 8, Originality: 9, Global: 10. A perfume for seduction.

On Thursday, 9 August 1945, Truman ordered the release of Fat Man over Nagasaki. I don’t know when @miguelmatosperfumes will create another Fat Man they’ll call Pippilotta. A fragrance measurable in megatones that must be respected. It’s overwhelming, powerful and a bit rude; it doesn’t ask for permission, it invades first and then asks. The opening is citrus-animal at level 7, but once the skin absorbs the power, it rises to 15 and doesn’t cease until 10 hours. The animalic part is furious; for me it’s bearable, but for my people: ‘What are you wearing?’. Pippilotta accompanies you the next day, provided you don’t soak your clothes, otherwise it will last weeks. Citrus-animal with flowers (jasmine, orange blossom) underneath, reducing the power to our pituitary. It’s spectacular. The idea is well executed. Pippi is rebellious, powerful, ill-mannered and different, who wanted to be Pippi? I like it more than Genesis. Thanks Aga (@le_frag) and @miguelmatosperfumes for another great perfume.
