“Little Star”

Posted on November 21, 2024November 22, 2024 by admin

This article is based on this Dutch article of Martijn Benders

**Sterretje**
A fragrance by Martinus Benders, capturing the unexpected in a sparkling bottle. Sterretje is more than just a perfume; it’s a firework of contrasts, an ode to memories and strength.

– **Top Notes**: A sharp spark of steel and iron, fresh and surprising, like the first flash of a sparkler in the dark.
– **Heart Notes**: The smoky, earthy aroma of charcoal, providing warmth and depth to this unique scent.
– **Base Notes**: Sulfur with a hint of minerality – raw, powerful, and unmistakably distinct.

With Sterretje, you wear a fragrance that is both nostalgic and daring, a flame that never fades. Perfect for those unafraid to stand out and who find poetry in the everyday. **Dare to be the spark.**

Meanwhile, a review has been published for the album The Sound of Wonty Love by music enthusiast and disc jockey Rutger van Wel:

**

Philosopher, writer, and free spirit BLB is one of the hardest-working souls in the art world. This time, he also wields the AI instrument, immersing the listener in his musical daydreams. It feels incredibly genuine. And undeniably very tastefully done. BLB selects the best sounds from the reggae palette (pan flutes, drum breaks, organs, spacey effects, and a warm retro feel).

My favorite tracks are the soulful opening piece Bestie Wear Lyrie that will leave no one unmoved, Mi Just Unravel, and the dub rocksteady rhythm of Rattlesnake Skank/OhmMaria Ohm reminiscent of Winston Wright. Beautiful work Martijn!

Best regards,

Castles Get Kicked in the Bricks each Summer

Let’s face it: some backpacks just carry your stuff. This one tells your entire life philosophy in one ridiculous, multilingual joke. Imagine strolling into a museum, a bus stop, or your ex's new wedding—with a bag that declares, in ten languages, that castles are always the losers of summer.

Why? Because deep down, you know:

  • Tourists always win.
  • History has a sense of humor.
  • And you, my friend, are not carrying your lunch in just any nylon sack—you’re carrying it in a medieval meltdown on your shoulders.

This backpack says:

  • “I’ve been to four castles, hated three, and got kicked out of one for asking where the dragons were.”
  • “I appreciate heritage sites, but I also think they could use a bit more slapstick.”
  • “I’m cute, I’m moopish, and I will absolutely picnic on your parapet.”

It’s absurd.
It’s philosophical.
It holds snacks.

In short, it’s not just a backpack—it’s a mobile monument to glorious collapse.

And honestly? That’s what summer’s all about.

Philosophy thirts

Feeling surveilled? Alienated by modernity? Accidentally started explaining biopolitics at brunch again? Then it’s time to proudly declare your loyalties (and your exhaustion) with our iconic “I’m with Fuckold” shirt.

This tee is for those who’ve:

  • Said “power is everywhere” in a non-BDSM context.
  • Tried to explain Discipline and Punish to their cat.
  • Secretly suspect the panopticon is just their neighbour with binoculars.

Wearing this shirt is a cry of love, rebellion, and post-structural despair. It says:
“Yes, I’ve read Foucault. No, I will not be okay.”

Stay tuned for more philosophical shirts and backpacks, as we at Benders are working on an entire collection that will make even the ghost of Hegel raise an eyebrow.
