By the editors · 2 min readNot A Perfume Superdose takes the house's signature single-molecule concept—Cetalox, a synthetic ambergris—and amplifies it to a level that borders on provocation. Where the original whispered, this iteration announces itself with a surprisingly forceful radiance, almost metallic in its initial brightness before settling into that familiar skin-like warmth. The concentration shift transforms what was once barely-there into something genuinely present, though still remarkably clean.
The development remains linear by design, but the increased density reveals textural qualities that were subtle in the original: a slight salinity, a faint mineral coolness beneath the warmth, like sun-heated stones near the ocean. It still smells more like enhanced skin than traditional perfume, but now it has weight and persistence.
This suits someone who appreciated the original concept but wanted actual projection, or who prefers their minimalism stated rather than implied. It maintains the "your skin but better" philosophy while ensuring others will actually notice.
