Blâme & Objurgation
Fragrance notes
Character
Someone who enjoys bold, unconventional blends will find a lot to explore here. This is a scent for days when the air feels cool enough to warrant something substantial, yet the sky stays bright and the ground is damp with fallen leaves. It suits a person who likes their fruity fragrances to carry weight and seriousness rather than lighthearted charm.
The opening presents a dense cluster of grapes, guava, and black currant. These fruits feel dark and heavy rather than bright or refreshing. The guava adds a tropical thickness that pushes the sweetness into a rich, syrupy territory, while the currant provides a sharp edge to the juicy grape accord.
As the composition moves forward, ebony and oud enter alongside a distinct salt note. The salt cuts through the heavy fruit, giving the heart a dry, mineral quality that keeps the sweetness from becoming overwhelming. The oud here is prominent, lending a resinous, woody depth that anchors the tropical top notes firmly to the skin.
The base continues with oud, now paired with the scent of red wine and white woods. The wine accord emphasizes the grape from the opening, turning it darker and more fermented. It settles into a dry, woody finish where the sweet, fruity, and salty elements rest on a foundation of white woods and oud.
