Dorian

Dorian is a soft, sweet, and intimate scent centered around vanilla, tea, and musk, evoking the elegance of a Victorian gentleman or the refined decadence of Dorian Gray himself. It opens with a faintly citrusy, almost lemony-clean note—similar to delicate furniture polish or sweet lemon sugar—that gradually fades into a warm, velvety blend of vanilla, tonka, and black tea. The musk is pale and powdery, lending a subtle, discreet sensuality without being overt. This is not a bold or projecting fragrance; it lingers close to the skin with moderate longevity and almost no sillage, making it a deeply personal wear. It feels like a secret, an intimate moment shared only with oneself or the closest person. The scent balances gourmand sweetness with a faintly mysterious undercurrent—soft and cozy on the skin, like a well-worn wool coat or a vintage tea cardigan. While it is marketed as unisex and appreciated by many for its delicate, layered complexity, it can be divisive: some smell it as an overwhelming vanilla, others as a dry, savant-like tea with no sweet saccharinity. It is especially beloved in cooler seasons, performing well in autumn and winter, and sings best during quiet, intimate moments—afternoon tea, cozy evenings, or romantic settings.
