Sherlock Holmes
by Ayliroma
Sherlock Holmes by Ayliroma is a deeply atmospheric and character-driven fragrance that evokes the enigmatic essence of the iconic detective. It opens with a crisp, piny citrus note that quickly dissolves into layers of rich tobacco, dark leather, smoky wood, and a subtle sweetness that lingers like old parchment. The overall impression is one of intense sophistication—cool, rapturous, and deeply textured. Its longevity is exceptional, lasting well beyond 24 hours, with a sillage that projects moderately to strongly, especially in colder seasons. The scent balances warmth and chill, suggesting the feeling of body heat beneath a blanket in a frosty room, making it ideal for evening wear during autumn or winter. It is not a universally appealing perfume—it is polarizing, with many noting its intense, smoky, animalic, and leathery character. However, those who connect with its mood find it deeply immersive, evoking underground chambers, gothic castles, and the quiet solitude of a brilliant mind at work.
