Pros

  • Tbh, I didn't get any of the "alien metallic stuff" when I tried it. Smelled like a very cool, icy citrus all the way through
  • I am a diehard IA fan. O, Unknown is one of my all time favorite scents (and so is Ganymede, so I’m right there with you!)
  • Not quite the Payless ShoeSource scent I was looking for (Ganymede is closer to what I was going for there)
  • At first I hated Ganymede. It smelled too weird. But that was just because I had too many expectations. I read too many reviews saying it smells like a spaceship or a pair of shoes. Now I love it.
  • I got a small decant a couple of months ago and my SO loved it instantly and wound up using it all up herself. It was fine with me because I enjoyed smelling it on her even more than I did on myself.

Cons

  • It has a vague bit of realistic orange peel like the smell you get from a cheap supermarket orange, not a juicy grocer orange or orange flavoring. The same way Ganymede does, if you're familiar with that.
  • Let me preface this by saying that so far I’m not a fan of Quentin Bisch nor Ganymede.
  • I got a sample of this and unfortunately the metallic note reminds me of the smell of chemotherapy treatment. It's not super in your face about it, but I can't get over the association now.
  • Well known but probably Ganymede. I was so confused in the first few wears whether I loved it or hated it, I literally couldn’t tell.

At first spray I was really bummed thinking I hated it. Then the chemical vibes disappeared leaving a very lived-in scent that I like. Printer ink cartridges got replaced with... honestly it's so hard to explain, but much nicer.
