Behind the Fragrance
Johan Bergelin: In 1991, Bret Easton Ellis published his iconic novel American Psycho to a storm of controversy.
The story revolves around investment banker Patrick Bateman and can be read as social commentary on a society driven by materialism and superficiality. To me, American Psycho is a metaphor for the darker side of the American Dream.
The book significantly impacted pop culture and has over the years developed a cult following and status. In the creation of American Psycho EdP I tapped into a few key elements from the book as well as its subsequent film adaptation released in 2000:
Batemans vanity rituals, fine sparkling water, icy sorbet and Wall Street in the 1980s. Fragrance notes include Bergamot, Jasmine, Cedarwood.
American Psycho Fragrance JourneyPage 77
I ask the guy if his name is Ricardo. He nods. Sure. I ask for a gram, tell him Madison sent me. I pull my wallet out and hand over a fifty and two twenties. He asks the Eurotrash chick for her purse. She hands him a velvet bag by Anne Moore. Ricardo reaches in and hands me a tiny, folded envelope. Before I leave, the Eurotrash girl tells me she likes my gazelleskin wallet. I tell her I would like to tit-fuck her and then maybe cut her arms off, but the music, George Michael singing Faith! is too loud and she cant hear me.
Back upstairs I find Patricia where I left her, alone at the bar, nursing a Perrier. Listen, Patrick, she says, her attitude relenting. I just want you to know that Im_____
A bitch? Listen, do you want some coke? I shout, cutting her line off. Uh, yeah Sure. She is wildly confused.
Come on. I yell, taking her hand. She puts her drink down on the bar and follows me through the deserted club, up the stairs toward the rest rooms. Theres really no reason why we couldn´t do it downstairs but that seems tacky and so we do most of it in one of the mens room stalls. Back outside the mens room I sit on a couch and smoke some of her cigarettes while she goes downstairs to get us drinks. She comes back apologizing for her behavior earlier this evening. I mean I loved Barcadia, the food was outstanding, and that mango sorbet, ohmygod I was in heaven. Listen, its OK that we didnt go to Dorsia. We can always go some other night and I know that you probably tried to get us in but its just so hot right now. But, oh yeah, I really loved the food at Barcadia. How long has it been open? I think its been there three, four months. I read a great review in New York or maybe it was Gourmet
