Triton, named after the moon of Neptune that was in turn named after the son of Poseidon, is a cold fragrance. Its scent carries the nose to the icy surface of its namesake moon, but it is not unrelenting. It’s like being able to experience the harsh terrain from the relative comfort of a warm enclosure. It’s about finding and relishing the beauty of a frozen landscape.
Upon first application, it's like smelling a magnificent, incomprehensible ice world. Unisex floral notes blend seamlessly with bright aldehydes and minerals to create a remarkably crisp, cool scent contrasted by a hint of sweetness. Below the surface, dry amber, cold incense, and brisk woods tether the top notes from escaping and give structure to the unique, icy accord.
After getting the discovery set, I was debating between Mizuchi and Triton but Triton just stayed with me far longer (in both the olfactory and emotional sense) even after it wore off. It’s like nothing I’ve ever smelled before, but exactly what I want an edgy, cold, enigmatic yet not inaccessible perfume to be like. Definitely icy. For some reason, it smells like a frozen, poisoned green apple on my skin, with a hint of cold breaths. It’s not something I’d wear everyday, but it’s one of those fragrances of which I’ll always keep a full bottle in my collection.
I tried a sample of Triton and was instantly haunted. In a good way. I just needed to smell it again. I couldn’t tell you why. It’s almost on this edge for me, where I could be too much, but as it develops it pulls back from this edge. I just love that. I do not understand it, but you can’t really argue about smells. You like it or not to some degree. However, I could easily see other people finding it way too much of a very weird thing. I’m a huge fan of Moro Oud and Targa fan. If you like those perfumes you might want to try Triton. Good luck!
i love the way this smells. i was expecting a clean aquatic scent because of the name, but wasn't expecting something so fun.
love the ozonic, aquatic notes, which are unisex and wearable even at work.
