So, I'm guessing Etat Libre d'Orange called this scent "Marquis de Sade" because it wants to hurt you.

Dear GOD. I gave it 15 minutes because sometimes a really awful top note will fade. This one did not, and the whole perfume is strong, strong, strong. I've just washed my arm multiple times with lemon-scented soap and I can still smell it. I think it's time to take a shower.

WHYYYY? I mean, I knew they were infamous for difficult perfumes but I was not expecting that level of revolting.

(It may be something to do with my skin chemistry, too, because I read a bunch of reviews of this scent while I was waiting for it to improve, and only a few mentioned the unbearable mix of dead rat and burning chemicals [plus some herbs] that I got. And I've definitely sampled some perfumes that got a lot of "Ugh that's so cacophonous/harsh/awful" reviews that have smelled lovely and completely inoffensive on me.)

Seriously this scent made my lips go numb and I feel kind of sick.
