First of all this is quite an original fragrance and I take my hat off to it for that but it's not entirely without comparison. The opening is extremely loud and makes me immediately think that the name is appropriate as it runs at you head on, barging and gouging you with it's horn! The opening is sharp, slightly bitter and very off kilter. I get a massive dose of elemi, a yesty resinous smell I usually like but coupled with a dizzying booziness and a horrid tanning leather, oud accord. This is pretty much a perfect storm of things I might like individually or in another context but when put together in this just become gross. Kind of reminds me of the more ill judged fragrances from 4160 Tuesdays, messy and deliberately weird, something I'd usually say is cool or funky. Well this is just plain FUNKY...in a stinky way. The oud is transparent and has a leathery, barnyard feel at times but as it steadily dries down this fragrance becomes more tolerable. In fact it dries down to a complex oud/rose type smell of undoubted quality but I still just don't like Rhinoceros. It's pretty much a scrubber for me and I consider myself into some 'out there' stuff fragrance wise. I thought the longevity would be massive but thankfully it isn't...pretty average really after an invasive and strong start. Needless to say this stuff is not my cup of tea as much as I want to be praising trendy niche perfumes there's no accounting for taste and in this instance my taste says "errrrr...Yuck!"
