Raw. Elemental. Unapologetic. This is fragrance stripped of all pretense—a visceral journey into the heart of scorched earth. The opening assault is unforgettable: overripe passion fruit and blood orange combust against hot black pepper and sulfurous matches. This is fire fruit at its most dangerous—sweet decay meeting volcanic heat.
The heart plunges deeper into darkness. Rich humus and wet soil create an almost edible earthiness, while patchouli adds its distinctive funk. Blackcurrant buds bring a sharp, catty edge that borders on animalic. Geosmin—the molecule that makes rain smell like rain—adds petrichor depth. This is the scent of fertility and destruction intertwined. The base is pure volcanic power. Black volcanic soil mingles with tar and burnt amber, creating an industrial edge that's strangely addictive. Birch tar and cade oil add smoky leather facets while oakmoss and vetiver root you to the earth.
A hint of castoreum provides an animalic growl that lingers for hours. Not for the faint of heart. This is fragrance as art installation—challenging, provocative, impossible to ignore. For those who understand that beauty isn't always pretty.
