zankoku_zen Report post Posted July 9, 2019 An aristocratic cologne of titanic passions, moody and brooding. This scent is dark with disillusionment and cynicism: a Victorian fougere and a dashing carnation boutonniere tainted by a cloud of khus, yew, and patchouli.

zankoku_zen Report post Posted September 17, 2019 My bearded friend tried this one, and its too floral for his taste. He is amping the fougere and the carnation aspects, and would have liked more of the yew and patchouli. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poenari Report post Posted June 30 (edited) Ohhhh! First of all, I forgot that this was a Halloween perfume first. It's not in my collection, so now that I ordered the beard oil for my husband, I am wishing I had the perfume too! https://www.bpal.org/topic/69983-the-byronic-antihero/ I tested this on my skin first before turning it over to him for his beard. I was pleasantly surprised that the carnation is the first note I smell. I love that spicy almost-clove scent that real carnations used to give off. Store-bought varieties don't have that. I get a bit of yew and a slightly green khus (vetiver) next. The patchouli never comes out to play. This is a very nice scent for a beard oil - masculine, but not overly, and of course the beard oils aren't meant to have a lot of throw. I would wear this as a body moisturizer if my husband doesn't.
