With a name like this (The Devil's Diaper) I had high hopes. What I got was a perfume that smells like many other Lutens perfumes. Which is not to say it's bad, but it's so close to those several many others that I feel totally bored by it. Think Le Participe Passé meets L'incendiaire meets Ecrin de Fumée meets Périlleusement Votre. And in fact here, the synthetic oud is scratchier than in the aforementioned ones and is already irritating me after five minutes. Big fat meh. Update: it's mostly a labdanum soliflor, I don't get any of the other notes, just synthetic oud, some resiny sweetness in the opening, and labdanum.
