I can only agree with Miguel Matos who claimed this must be in the top 10 of new fragrances released in 2015. It is definitely a very sexual scent and no doubt masculine and highly physical. It´s truly animalistic and resembles the scent of active, naked bodies. Quite like a gay leather bar with that dense, loaded atmosphere. If you step out of this bar, onto the street, the fresh air strikes you as a contrast. Quality of Flesh captures the moment BEFORE you open the door...
A bit heady, too much can make one dizzy. Not a mainstream fragrance, but I really like the fact that it´s quite demanding to wear.
What I really love about it is that it has captured the dark and forbidden world of male carnal desire in a most convincing way. Not that perfume necessarily has a natural place in that underground world, but because that scene may simply smell just like that on its own; dirty, tantalizing, nauseating at times, but magnetic!!! Like a male version of Tannhäuser´s Venusberg! With this scent you can bring this underground world up into daylight, knowing the depths from where it came... Enjoy!
