Ouroborose
Fragrance notes
Character
Ouroborose greets you with a crisp bite of violet leaf that feels green and slightly metallic, softened by the warm, almost peppery lift of cardamom. It is an opening that promises something structured rather than sweet, a clear signal that this is not a casual daytime spritz. The initial impression is clean and architectural, with the spice giving the foliage a dry edge that keeps it from leaning into a watery garden scent.
The heart shifts the weight toward a dense floral wood. Damask rose and heliotrope create a powdery, amber-laden warmth that sits heavily against the sharp, resinous cypress and a bright flash of grapefruit. This stage feels like a study in contrasts, where the soft, vintage-style makeup powder of the florals clashes gently with the sour freshness of the citrus and the dark green of the conifer. It is a complex middle that refuses to settle into a single mood, moving between a plush boudoir and a damp forest floor.
As it settles, the base brings in a deep, resinous oud and leather accord that feels rugged and smoky, grounded by the dry, earthy pull of vetiver and cedar. Turkish rose lingers here, adding a rich floral depth to the dark woods and the sharp, cold needle scent of black spruce. The leather adds a tactile, worn-in quality that makes the entire composition feel like a heavy wool coat or an old library, a space filled with dark timber and aged paper where the scent hangs in the air as the amber continues to glow against the dry, woody backdrop
