wild ride
can’t explain it - the first thing i caught on my skin was fernet branca. the second i clocked it, it shifted to something entirely different - slightly sweet, animalic, lit cigarettes wafting from another room. insanely balanced and clean with a fun, hot, vaguely sinister undercurrent. this is what i had hoped le labo’s another 13 would smell like, but better. friction is leagues above in terms of complexity, wearability, everything. i think if i smelled this on another person i would float off the ground and trail them like pepe le pew. sorry for this insane review! i just think it’s perfect!


A Beautiful Contradiction
This is an incredibly well balanced scent that merges both freshness and animalic grit. Brightness is often associated with citrus or other natural characteristics but this fragrance takes on a far more unique approach. The "neon" descriptor is perfect even though I had no idea what that meant until I smelled it. Friction is an exclusive industrial warehouse party in a bottle that drys down to a beautifully sultry (yet somehow sharp) scent that lasts 6+ hours while not being over-powering. I absolutely love this unique fragrance.
