Tony Iommi Monkey Special

big swinging d*ck energy poured into a ornate bottle for the price of a BMW 3 series monthly payment. At the forefront a earthy, passionfruit saturated leather..ripe with unapologetic attitude, the type that crafted the whips that excited Rihanna in her song "S&M". Not your rudimentary safehaven of overly sweetened metrosexual cologne or another Aventus inspired spin-off, so impulsive 1st impressions can be misleading. An attention getter but not an attention seeker..gutsy & brimming with audacity, the nature of the fragrance can contradict with the appearance of the wearer so compatibility can present a issue for some. For those who can embrace the scent of reckless abandon & wanton lust..please wear responsibly.

Instantly whisked away to a dark, grungy, sweaty room full of devil handed, frenzied maniacs who are all 10/10 on the sexiness scale! Love it! Boozy opening and almost instantly starts throwing the scent notes at you in waves. The patchouli is ever present in various strengths, fruits come and go as they please. Flowers are classy and natural especially the geranium. Not sure I get cinnamon but definite spice in there. Completely surrounds you in an intoxicating bubble that elevates your spirits and energy whilst remaining classy as f***! Possibly my favourite on my shelf and it has strong competition. And the packaging is awesome! now where's my guitar....? I feel a riff coming on!

A love at first sniff fragrance for me. After going through multiple samples of it, I had to buy the full 100 ml and do not regret it at all (especially as it was through a discounter at a large reduction - always check discounters!). One of my most well recieved fragrances among acquaintances and the general public, most people seem to love this (outside of the outspoken minority here on Fragrantica). Of course, sample before you buy, but it is quite a fantastic scent. Packaging is usually lost on me, but I was impressed with the packaging and presentation for this fragrance. One of the only boxes I've kept.

I've been wanting a bottle of Tony Iommi Monkey Special since I first tried it a couple years ago, and I finally bought a bottle because it's on sale for $205 at Olfactoryfactory. I had a sample that I ordered from them a few months ago, and that just made me want a bottle even more. I think it smells like a 70's rock star looks, so like Tony Iommi himself, wearing a leather jacket. The rum and patchouli are the strongest notes to me, with some fruity notes and leather and sweet caramel in the dry down. A few sprays project enormously and it lasts for hours.

I bought it only two weeks ago, and I want to say that it has become my signature evening scent for parties. It's like an explosion of fragrance in your face. It makes a very powerful and bold statement. A very sexy and rebellious scent with a huge scent trail. When you wear it, you'll imagine yourself as a rock star or a cool biker. But this fragrance isn't suitable for every occasion, it's too agressive. To me, it smells like spicy, smoky, boozy passion fruit wrapped in a black leather jacket. Over time, the scent softens, becoming less aggressive.
