Boy smells tantrum eau de parfum

Smells a lot like Hermes Jardin sur La Nil, just not quite as tart/sour, and with a distinct but fleeting green pepper opening. Not quite Hermes level quality, but a nice fragrance in its own right

Walking through my grandmother's garden in spring or early summer; the tomato plants growing tall in the sun, clusters of tomatoes sagging under their own weight; the soft, velvety vines running between them, your hand brushing against cool green leaves; the crunch of fruit flesh breaking, the sound of a knife hitting wood, tomato juice dribbling across the countertop; laying in a warm spot on the grass, the light of the sun still visible through your eyelids.

You do eventually get some softer floral notes, but this scent is all about that initial burst of intense vegetal green. Too unusual to wear in anything but the most casual, artsy settings, but there's no denying how unique it is. I'd strongly recommend trying a sample before buying.

I really love this bright and zingy fragrance. I wouldn't have been able to place the green pepper without knowing it was there, but it definitely comes across -- this scent is green and vegetal, bright and herby with no sweetness and not very much woodiness at all. At least on me, it stays lush and herbaceous during its entire lifespan, which is a good 6 hours or so. I like to layer this with a clean fig to add a touch of warmth, or wear it on its own to a sweaty bar patio. It's an excellent choice for when you want to cut through sweat and smoke and booze instead of leaning in and wearing something darker. I think anyone of any gender could pull this off as long as they have a little panache.
Just a quick edit to say that almost a year later, I still get compliments on this from multiple people nearly every time I wear it out and about. Sexy but bright, and a little mysterious. Still a love!

hipster dior sauvage/prada carbon. the pepper is turned up all the way up to 11. it's like a green sauvage. kinda smells like pencil shavings. i dig it.

Sometimes the synesthesia a scent can trigger is so clear, SO vibrant and loud, that I have nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the multi-sensory experience of what a smell has to offer. Tantrum by Boy Smells is *the most* green smelling thing I have ever laid my nose on.

This is pure, unadulterated greenery- Tantrum opens verdant, violent, and slightly ozonic. Nothing is too overpowering, but the journey from wet to dry tells a complete story. Like you've walked into a greenhouse and your lover, green with envy, tosses a pitcher of yerba mate in your face. Soaking wet, you dry yourself in fistfuls of cedar and mint and then toss the roughage back into their lap.

I love the artistry here. The green pepper/bergamot combo is one of the most delightful openings I've smelled in a perfume. This is staunchly unisex, freshly bitter, and still beautifully approachable. My skin tends to amp cedars so the post-drydown leans in that direction; reminding me of a brighter Tam Dao EDT by Diptyque. However, the french house takes cedar in a forested direction, while Tantrum remains in the confines of a greenhouse turned mess hall. It's cheeky, playful and mature at the same time. It's not an everyday scent, but I can see many people wearing this. There's a level of chicness to Tantrum on par with Le Labo Santal 33 and some of the fresher CDG offerings.
