A successful experiment
I don't have as much experience as some people here, but I would still like to share my experiences with Bangkok Shock.
Never before has a fragrance with such a deliberate association caught me like this one. According to Herbert Stricker, the intention was to start the scents in Bangkok and its markets. Personally, I have never been to Bangkok, but the first second after the first spray, the intended association was understandable.
I associate the fragrance with a scent that you would also find in an Asian grocery and general store in Germany. A fermented orange note is very present and recedes somewhat in the drydown. The fragrance becomes a little more pleasing towards the end and seems less experimental than fresh after application. I can understand the plastic note that is often described. However, plastic per se is quite odorless. It's more like a cheap plastic toy from the Far East, which you can also find in local Asian general stores.
I have to say that the fragrance is special but pleasant and really fun for the wearer because it is so special. It's not for every day, but it does find its way onto my skin from time to time. I find the fragrance somehow more suitable in summer than in winter. The sillage is very pronounced and people often talk about the fragrance.

Tourne la tete!
Rarely has a fragrance so confused me.
I'm not a big fan of jasmine, which is very dominant and present here.
Synthetics often becomes too much and too loud for me.
Damascene rose I can not stand at all
The whole paired with a bright Zitrik, which is muted by mandarin sweetness.
In the base then neat incense, wood and synth musk.

That all sounds first so not at all after my fragrance DNA!

The first spray from the sample surprised me. It feels like a cobra bit me in the nose. Floral-fresh-spicy it stings the nose! Terrible, but beautiful!

I take a quick step back to make sure I didn't just smell my "Asian Allrounder" spice. A second time I lead my nose to the wrist and there it grabs me...

"2016, Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi, Vietnam, 21.03971° N, 105.76724° E, I am standing in a small marketplace. Mopeds and people circle around me. The air is dense, barely leaving room to breathe.

A man holds a machete in the air and a few moments the heavy knife thunders on a pig's head. Next to it, children playing with sparrows as if they were game pieces. I walk on, the sun presses the smog over the city onto the dusty streets of the neighborhood on the outskirts of Hanoi. Several bamboo baskets where they keep huddled puppies and exotic animals. Rice steam rises next to me. The young man wants to sell me his delicacies, but I decline with thanks. The cobras and scorpions in the quite a few jars at his stand irritate me increasingly.

Suddenly a breath of fresh air. The wind had turned and blown the scent of white flowers, vanilla and roses to me. Unfortunately, only an illusion, like many things in this city. It hisses and from the window of the small hostel escapes the mist of a room spray.

The longer I stay in the small market, the more spices, flowers and fruits I discover, whose smells become one over time"

This is what makes a fragrance! Sometimes everything speaks against what you read or hear, but your own, the very subjective perception of scent art makes the whole thing here but really exciting!

Is it a fragrance I would have bought blindly (without name, fragrance pyramid or information)?
YES! Because he has me gecatcht. He does not let me go.

Do I wear this fragrance privately?
YES! Because sometimes it is enough to carry a memory in fragrance form with you, to let some dreary day, become brighter!

I see the words "Sweets shop & flower market". Interesting business idea and works (at least in the fragrance) quite well.
