Perfumer

The AURYX studio

10–12 hours on skin, and not the same smell throughout. What you get in the shop is only the first fifteen minutes of it.

  1. 0-15 min

    Caramelised sugar and rum, with cardamom cutting the top.

  2. 15 min - 3 hr

    Tonka and bitter almond over a real smoke accord.

  3. 3 hr +

    Benzoin, dark vanilla and guaiac. Bitter more than sweet.

“The moment sugar stops being sweet is very short. That is where this lives.”

The moment sugar stops being sweet and turns bitter is very short, and that is where this fragrance lives. There is smoke in it, and a dry woody bitterness that cuts the caramel before it becomes cloying. It is a gourmand, but an adult one — closer to an espresso and a cigarette than to a bakery.

Best in

Deep winter and after dark.

Wear it when

You want a gourmand that nobody would call cute.

Think twice if

You want the bakery version. This one has ash in it.

Reviews

How does it wear?

Burnt Sugar has no reviews yet. We do not buy them and we do not write them ourselves, so this stays empty until someone who has worn it says something.

If you have, a couple of sentences about how it behaves on your skin is more useful to the next person than any description we could write.
