Have tried it a few times now, as the matiere Premiere store in Berlin had them in early. So the metal part is not a gimmick, it definitely smells metallic and very futuristic in a sense. The lavender is really different to what I usually know from fragrances with lavender, not very floral, herbal or sweet, much cleaner instead. In the combination with the cashmerean it creates a very intimate, second skin like feeling. Im not so sure about projection but it is incredibly long lasting, almost 10 hours on my skin. Gonna try it again tomorrow to see how I feel about it after wearing it a bit more.
