The Door is one of the rarest (and brilliant) perfumes I’ve ever tried, so… please don’t buy it blindly as it’s not easy to wear and not for everyone… What does it smell like? Generally, I detect glue, with notes of latex, rubber and probably leather. Rosewood is also noticeable, with a burnt and smoky sensation. To me, it’s like being in a fetish gay club (I’ve been to one and The Door reminds me of it very much). That mix of manly scent, leather clothing, latex, sweat and the smell of poppers every time the bottles are opened (yes, it does smell a bit like poppers too). I can even detect a hint of dirty sex, the kind of smell you notice when opening the door to a dark room… I don’t know… But this scent is something very different… Repulsive and addictive at the same time, and highly polarising… You might love it or hate it, but it will certainly not leave you indifferent!… If you want a true olfactory experience… You must try it!
