We Shall Be Monsters
Fragrance notes
Character
A fragrance built around galbanum, bitter almond, and black licorice is not trying to be polite. We Shall Be Monsters earns its place on a shelf by refusing the easy warmth that most people expect from a sweet and nutty blend. The earthy and green accords pull the almond away from dessert and push it toward something rooted in soil, while the metallic and soft spicy facets keep the air around it sharp. This is a composition that values texture over charm, and the balsamic note gives it a resinous weight that feels deliberate rather than decorative.
Poesie created this for the person who wants a scent that behaves like a shadowed hallway in an old house. The aromatic and fruity touches are present, but they do not brighten the space, and the licorice curls through the mix like an iron stair rail gone cold under your hand.
