Р (R)
Fragrance notes
A person who already owns the classic green chypres and wants something rougher around the edges will find a companion here. Р (R) is not a polite office scent. It walks into a room with a heavy leather jacket and a cigarette, carrying the kind of confidence that does not ask for approval. The opening hits with lemon and clary sage, bright and herbal, but the lavender underneath gives it a soapy, barbershop edge that feels vintage rather than modern.
As the fragrance develops, jasmine and carnation bring a spicy floral heart that feels dry and slightly powdery. The base is where the personality really shows. Oakmoss and leather create a dark, forest-floor foundation, but the addition of civet adds a distinct animalic growl. It is a bold, slightly dirty scent that refuses to be clean. The combination feels raw and untamed, standing far away from the transparent, easy-wearing aesthetics found in most new releases today.
This is a perfume for the collector who appreciates the rebellious spirit of vintage styles and the smell of old leather. Wear it on a crisp autumn evening when the air is cool and you want a scent with a distinct point of view. It pairs well with a black turtleneck and a mood that prefers substance over sweetness.
