₱2,600.00

Experiment Type:
Atmospheric Woods / Dry Heat Intelligence

Research Question

Can a fragrance simulate intelligence emerging from an empty landscape?

Hypothesis

If dry woods, mineral structures, Cologne Accord, and Black Sand Accord are combined, the wearer may experience clarity, heat, and emotional minimalism.

I wanted to test them first, so I bought the 10ml versions of Desert Algorithm and Synthetic Summer. After just one wear of each fragrance, I knew I had to get the full bottles before they sold out.

I wore Desert Algorithm to the gym, and it smelled amazing throughout my entire workout. It suits my taste perfectly and performed better than I expected. I’m so happy I discovered these perfumes—they’ve definitely earned a spot in my collection.

I actually liked it and will definitely wear it for work. I really like the scent especially after an hour or 2 and as it dries down. Proud to wear as a Filipino.

It leans a bit masculine with an aftershaved/cologne drydown. It’s a good mix of fresh and leather which I enjoy. Definitely an appropriate fragrance in a dry humid weather like ours.

Desert Algorithm is such a unique scent, it's a clean and woody scent with leather but not the heavy type. The Black Sand Accord is the interesting part where it's almost like a dusty, metallic-like vibe, to my nose at least. Most would say it leans towards masculine but I think it's unisex.

At first I hesitated on buying this scent, because one reviewer said it reminds him of Aventus and I don’t want another scent profile like that on my collection. Eventually I did pull the trigger, bought it and I’m glad I did. The owner reached out and ask how was it and this is what I said.

The drydown is so addicting to my nose.

Performance

7-8 hours with moderate projection.
