While some appreciate it as a bold animalic masterpiece for experienced niche collectors, many find it unbearably filthy, comparing it to sweaty jockstraps and other unpleasant body odors. Even admirers acknowledge its challenging nature and note that appreciation for it seems to diminish over time.
