Inexcusable Evil Toskovat'

Before becoming a perfume maker, David-Lev Jipa-Slivinschi studied cinematography and worked in the film industry, focusing on screenwriting, script editing, and writing for short films. Now, he applies the same philosophy to his scents. They have catchy names that spark our imagination, and the fragrances themselves feel like an invitation to a movie premiere. Each Toskovat' scent, from Anarchist A to Last Birthday Cake, features a dynamic, captivating "plot," excellent "acting," and special effects. The standout fragrance in the line is undeniably Inexcusable Evil. This is a real arthouse perfume, a kind of translation of the recent adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front into the language of perfumery. Gunpowder, metal, ink, damp bandages, mold and mildew in a basement, and behind it all — the warmth of human skin. I tried this fragrance several times, starting this spring when David-Lev personally showed me all his creations and explained the concept of each one. Initially, Inexcusable Evil struck me as a unique art object, unwearable in everyday life, unlike the patchouli-based Empty Wishes Well. The most prominent scent was a medical bandage soaked in blood, pus, and iodine. Although I don't consider myself to be particularly impressionable, a lump began to form in my throat. However, after several trials, my opinion changed — no chthonic elements remained except for the distinct smell of gunpowder and smoke. Inexcusable Evil reveals its beauty, especially on men's skin (and no blood on the knife's edge). But you can be sure that its scent trail will not go unnoticed.
