2324 In Berlin
Fragrance notes
Character
2324 In Berlin belongs in the wardrobe of someone who wants a fragrance that feels like a room rather than a spray. The blend of leather, guaiac wood, oud, tobacco, musk, amber, and heliotrope creates a space that is woody, animalic, and smoky at once. This is not a scent that tries to charm on first contact. It is dense, powdery, and unapologetically heavy, built for wearers who prefer presence over prettiness.
The argument for keeping it rests on its texture. Heliotrope and amber soften the sharper edges of leather and oud, but they never turn the composition sweet. Tobacco and musk add a dry, slightly dirty warmth that keeps the profile grounded. It reads as a unified whole rather than a sequence of stages, which makes it feel deliberate and composed.
Royal Toad positions this as a unisex oriental woody fragrance, and the balance supports that claim. It does not lean toward freshness or brightness, so anyone expecting a light daily option will be disappointed. That is not a flaw. The fragrance knows its weight, and it rewards the person who chooses it for evenings, colder seasons, and occasions where a bold statement is welcome.
Composed by Oleg Razygrin and launched in 2019, it carries a consistent identity from start to finish. The materials feel robust rather than polished, and the result is a scent that suits someone standing in a dim library with worn leather chairs and a wood stove burning in the corner.
