Bijan Wicked

Bijan Wicked opens with a sharp, slightly chemical burst reminiscent of hairspray or old goth club scents from the 1980s, dominated by red currant, bergamot, and a rather intense lotus note that strikes some as pungent or even unpleasant at first. Over time, this evolves into a dry, earthy, and slightly sweet chypre with herbal patchouli, green vetiver, and a warm amber base that brings depth without sweetness. The mid-notes of jasmine and blue lotus are subtle, contributing an aquatic softness rather than a dominant floral presence. On some skin types, the scent develops into a smooth, musky, leathery aura reminiscent of a vintage jacket worn in smoky bars—dark, intriguing, and seductive. Others report a more inexpensive, cottony chemical tone that lingers past initial application. It's best worn in cooler weather, particularly nights or early evenings, where its tenacity and moderate sillage help it stand out without overpowering. Despite a few sour or overwhelming impressions in the beginning, the drydown is often described as rewarding, elegant, and complex—especially for those who appreciate earthy, tobacco-like, or soft pheromonal scents in the tradition of big-name chypres or amber-coated florals. Overall, Wicked bridges unisex appeal with a refined, worn-overnight edge—ideal for day-to-night wear and those seeking something bold yet subtle rather than overtly sweet or spicy.
