Fragrance notes
Character
Rubber and coal sit beside green leaves in a way that feels industrial rather than botanical. The rubber note is not the bright tire-shop smell of a garage, but a dense, dark material that absorbs light. Coal adds a dry mineral grit, like walking through a basement where the furnace has just gone cold. Lipstick brings a waxy, powdery film across the surface, softening the harder edges without making the blend sweet. Blood reads as a metallic tang rather than a gothic flourish, giving the air a sharp, copper-like bite.
Incense curls through the mix with a smoky weight that feels heavy on the skin. Amber and balsamic accords provide a faint resinous warmth, though they never take over the sharper mineral and metallic elements. Woody facets ground the composition, but they stay in the background while the rubber and coal continue to dominate. The powder from the lipstick note lingers in the air, creating a contrast with the green leaves that keeps the scent from feeling completely dry.
Picture a narrow street after a fresh snowfall, where the pavement is dark with slush and the air smells of cold stone and exhaust. The green leaves here feel frozen rather than lush, snapping in the wind against the warm lipstick and cold metal. Andreas Wilhelm composed a fragrance that refuses to settle into a single mood, moving between waxy cosmetics and industrial smoke while the mineral accords hold the entire structure in place.
