Harlot 娼妓
Fragrance notes
Character
Harlot 娼妓 opens with black currant, green mandarin, and bergamot. The citrus is bright and slightly tart, while the currant adds a dark, juicy edge. This introduction feels energetic and clear, moving quickly into the floral heart without lingering too long on the surface.
The middle reveals iris, jasmine, and rose. The iris brings a soft, powdery texture that sits against the clean white floral lift of jasmine and the gentle weight of rose. As the composition settles, the musk and ambergris in the base take over. The musk is smooth and skin-like, while the ambergris adds a deep, animalic warmth that feels slightly salty and woody. This drydown is where the fragrance spends most of its time, growing heavier and more intimate as the floral brightness fades.
The powdery accord becomes quite prominent here, which can feel dated to those who prefer modern, transparent scents. The animalic facet is also distinct and may read as unclean to some wearers. It is a specific, unapologetic character that demands a tolerance for heavy iris and musk.
