Nudiflorum is a profoundly polarizing fragrance defined by its dense, animalic, and leather-forward character, executed with theatrical intensity. Its opening is a tart, acidic burst of rhubarb and raspberry, layered with a volatile floral-musky depth that evolves into a thick, tarry leather accord with green, earthy undertones. The scent is overwhelmingly masculine-leaning in strength and volatility—projecting with an enormous sillage and lasting over 12 hours, even on clothing. While some perceive it as a voluptuous, seductive floral-woody-oriental with a rich, complex dry-down akin to Bandit or Boadicea The Victorious, others describe it as offensive, verging on medicinal or synthetic, with notes likened to burning rubber, cigarette ash, or spoiled fruit. The scent’s power and longevity are consistently noted as near-legendary, with a lasting trace on skin and in clothing for days. It is intensely personal: worshipped by some as a transformative, artistic masterpiece, while reviled by others as overbearing and uninviting. Its scent profile is bold, abstract, and unrelenting, making it ideal only for those who appreciate uninhibited olfactory statements and are comfortable with high-projection, long-lasting perfumes. It defies traditional gender boundaries but consistently evokes a powerful, sensual, and provocative aura. The perfume’s uniqueness is undeniable—however, its extreme character demands a test before purchase.
