Feeling nostalgic and watching movies in the dark
The house of Clandestine Laboratories describes the scent as a stylized interpretation of a classic, moody cinema landscape—specifically capturing what an ideal world's curling cigarette smoke would smell like in an old black-and-white movie. Rather than smelling like actual ash, it blends a sharp herbal Spanish lavender and bright neroli with deep, complex notes of beeswax absolute, earthy orris, and a warm, dry-woody trail of patchouli, oakmoss, and vegan civet. It’s a masterful way to evoke that heavy, nostalgic, main-character energy without ever becoming overwhelming or stale.
A compliment getting, unique powerhouse fragrance that can last for days on hair & clothes, it isn't to be taken lightly. It feels like a hidden gem, yet incredibly versatile, perfect for cold winter days but with fresh, dry-woody aspects and a light body that make it great for summer wear as well. It’s also highly unisexy and smells great on skin.
If you haven't discovered this fragrance house you are missing out on one of the most incredible niche scents out there.
