Is the name really so ironic? Herba London were gracious enough to send me the samples of the entire line so I can't be too harsh...haha...but they strike me as the kind of brand for Nathan Barley types. Even down to the branding which is a clever mixture of LeLabo, Byredo, Heeley and even newer still...Byron. I'm being careful not to sound too cynical because, whether they are aware of these brands or not.... clean, modern, sterility actually appeals to lots of people me included. So I hoped this perfume wouldn't be a disappointment and it isn't! Very competent and resembles something I would normally enjoy, smokey a little moody perhaps? Urban hipster opens with a biting pepper note and instant smokey vetiver. It's a dry, incense/woody perfume with all the dirtier side of sandalwood, a curiously modern tobacco which was only apparent when it had settled right down eventually drying down to a familiar warm resinous smell of old book amber and vetiver. Is this what imagine a hipster to smell of? Yes. Brief met as far as I'm concerned, but will real actual hipsters wear it? Either being so postmodern they can poke fun at their own social pigeonhole, which would actually be the kind of self aware, twatty thing that a hipster would do. Sorry...do you see how biased I am against them? I suppose it's just fashion and the way they groom themselves and should be judged on the content of their character. (To paraphrase Dr King ;) I'm sure there's loads of lovely ones :) ...but I wouldn't know because I'm too busy laughing at the beardy wankers to approach them and find out! Loads to enjoy here, especially if you like tobacco fragrances, things like Man 2 or GPH1 or dry spicy stuff in general, maybe Andy Tauer fans or amber lovers? Like I said loads to like. I've only tried on my wrist so I will update if anything changes after wearing but I think I got the measure of this one. Thumbs up from me!
