The People of the Labyrinths launched Luctor et Emergo, their first fragrance, in 1998. Luctor et Emergo is now, I should think, officially a cult classic, having first been nominated for cult status by Style Magazine in 2002. There are plenty of people who don’t love it (it wouldn’t be a cult scent otherwise, right?), but those of us that do are rather besotted with the stuff, to put it mildly. It is one of few fragrances that I am still as enchanted with today as I was when I first smelled it.
Nine years, of course, is rather a long wait for a follow-up, and so it is no surprise that A.MAZE (and I’m just going to go ahead and refer to it as Amaze for the rest of this article) was released to more-than-usually heightened expectations…
