The brief
Not a night-out fragrance but an after-hours one: the residue rather than the event. Spilled drinks, smoke in fabric, empty glasses on a bar.

An extrait at 28%. Tobacco, leather and rum over vetiver — the smell of a room that has been full all night.

How it was made
02
The material
Rum absolute is a genuine distillate rather than an accord, and it carries the slightly sour edge that a synthetic version smooths away. The oud is Laotian and used at a low enough level that it supports rather than dominates.
03
On skin
Enormous. At 28% concentration one spray is a decision. It develops for six hours and is still readable at twelve. We do not make a 100ml because nobody would finish one.

One spray
I made the mistake of using two. Learn from me. Magnificent fragrance, absurd strength.

The rum note
You can smell that it is real rum. Slightly sour, completely convincing.
