Does this fragrance actually smell like trash or waste?+−
No. Despite the name and the concept of upcycling ingredients, the scent is fresh, fruity, and clean. It focuses on the "beauty" extracted from repurposed materials, resulting in a dominant apple and wood profile.
How does the upcycling concept relate to the ingredients?+−
The fragrance utilizes Givaudan’s upcycling processes, where ingredients like apple essence and rose absolute are derived from leftovers or waste products from other industrial processes, giving them a second life in perfumery.
Is I Am Trash suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Yes. Because it is airy, light, and features a clean, soapy-sweet quality, it is considered very safe for business and daily wear. It leans more toward a pleasant personal aura than a heavy, distracting perfume.
Should I buy this if I want a long-lasting, powerful scent?+−
If you prioritize high projection and all-day performance, you may find this disappointing. It is known for being a more intimate fragrance that stays relatively close to the skin and may require reapplication throughout the day.
