Burning Ben is a deeply complex, smoky, and coffee-tinged fragrance with leathery and ambery depths. It opens with a bold, almost abrasive blend of burnt rubber, smoked leather, cognac, and dark chocolate, creating a dramatic and intense first impression. Over time, it mellows into a rich, warm gourmand heart of espresso, cocoa, and woody incense, with subtle sweetness from plum and hazelnut. The dry-down is soft and skin-scented, with a lingering signature of smoky leather, antique wood, and a faint ethereal musk, making it feel intimate and mysterious. The scent is intense and unapologetically dark, clearly leaning toward the bold and unconventional, but its balanced structure allows it to suit both genders, especially those with a taste for strong, cinematic perfumes.
