Perverso

As soon as it's sprayed, Perverso bursts onto the skin like a freshly baked caramel cake: warm, enveloping, and utterly mouthwatering. It's a gourmand opening that grabs your attention instantly, sweet yet already hinting at a toasted complexity beneath. Within minutes, its presence becomes impossible to ignore. At the bar, I received several compliments. Everyone who came near me wanted to know what fragrance I was wearing. Many detected a strong note of licorice, intense and unmistakable. The car I drove to work was completely saturated with its scent, transformed into a chamber of pure fragrance. A curious moment: I had lunch with a friend who apologized for not having changed after work, thinking the strong scent around him came from himself. In reality, it was Perverso that filled the space, and the scent was unmistakably coming from me. The sillage is among the most powerful I’ve ever encountered. However, around the fifth hour, it begins to soften. The perfume becomes less overwhelming while still noticeable. After about nine hours, it weakens further, reaching a more manageable and intimate stage. During the dry-down, Perverso shifts gears. Unexpected salty nuances begin to surface, subtle but present. It’s as if the grey amber, listed in the fragrance pyramid, starts to come through. A marine, slightly animalic undertone creates a fascinating sweet-salty contrast. It reminds me unmistakably of salted caramel: rich, addictive, and unusual. As the scent continues to evolve, woody notes reminiscent of hazelnut start to emerge. A warm, toasted sweetness with a delicate, nutty-woody character replaces the sugary top notes. The roasted facet gradually fades, leaving a smoother, more velvety base. With time, Perverso only gets better. In my opinion, it becomes increasingly pleasant, more refined, more intriguing, as if settling into a personal, unmistakable olfactory signature. However, after 12 to 13 hours, the scent on skin becomes very faint. On clothing, it lingers a bit longer, but its strength can be considered spent.

I am trying this wobderful perfume right night and i am just un LOVE with It. The opening is very very intense and sweet. Withount having seen the notes i thought un roast coffee mixed with cocoa and biscuits. It made me think un perfumes like chocolate greedy by montale but with a Big load of coffee and maybe something resinous like incense. But after a while It begins yo changes, becoming drier and smokier and at this point i CAME here, watched the notes and... Yes! It really fotos all... Hazelnuts are very noticeable, but not the sweet vibe of the dried fruits not the smoky smell of the riasted ones. The cocoa is still present but puré and dry cocoa and the resinous vibe of the styrax is every time more presente. The tobacco and the rum id very noticeable and the biscuits smell is didsapeared at all and now i can only feel a little sweet vibe in the background which can be the caramel, but again a burnt one, like the one which people put over the flan or the ice creams. The lo gevity and sillage is good but It not a very versatile perfume. I think only weareable ar night and better with fresh weather. Good for clubbing and night eventos. Very different yo other perfumes i have tried. Of course before ir later It Will have a place on my collection.

Perverso is the fragrance from Baruti that was most interesting to me when I first smelled some of the line at Perfumology in Philadelphia, clearly a dark, sweet, spicy, semi-gourmand from the onset, and I’d be remiss to omit any of the interesting notes: rum, roasted nut, cocoa powder, caramel fudge, fig, tobacco leaf, styrax, musk, and ambergris. Most of all, I get the roasted nut, caramel fudge, tobacco leaf, and styrax, a sweet and spicy blend that leans slightly sweeter but clearly with a lot of non-sweet components, too. Perverso is in the vein of a Slumberhouse fragrance, with its dark juice, and scent characterized by a sort of sweet/spicy but not entirely gourmand mix. It’s not quite as sweet nor resinous as, say, Bruno Fazzolari Ummagumma, instead, rather, a mix of the gourmand elements crossed with tobacco and styrax. So bits of Slumberhouse Jeke and Ore, perhaps. It’s a dense extrait de parfum, with exceptional performance, and is priced at $140 for 30ml, sold at great boutiques like Perfumology and Tigerlily Perfumery, both of which offer spray samples. Overall, it’s great, even if it does not rank among the very best in this category like some of the Slumberhouse offerings, and I definitely recommend trying it out if you like those types of fragrances, as I surely do. 8 out of 10

For me, this is less of a fragrance to wear out and more of an experience to savor. I had to have it - not to smell pretty or make a statement, but to open the bottle and take in its richness, or dab a little on the back of my hand to evoke something deep and emotional. To me, Perverso is nearly perfect: a bold yet beautifully balanced blend of hazelnut, cocoa, musk, and smoky undertones. It reminds me unmistakably of salted caramel - rich, addictive, and completely unique. As it develops, the sweetness mellows into warm, woody hazelnut tones. There’s a subtle toasted quality that gives way to a soft, velvety base, never loud but always present. With time, it becomes more refined and intimate, almost like it settles into your skin as a quiet signature, distinctive without ever trying too hard. My husband and son both enjoy wearing it, and I love catching traces of it on them - it smells incredible.

I rcvd a sample of this fragrance with a purchase I made. What amazed me about the fragrance was how the scent stood out amongst all the other samples I had in my sample tray when passing by. A strong nutty scent, with a lil cacao note and a faint sweetness. I don't pick up the rum and tobacco note but I know it's there because this fragrance wouldn't be a powerhouse without it. I tried it out with my fiance and nothing negative was said and believe me, she is very opionated with fragrances she doesn't like. With that said, I'm very happy I picked up this fragrance, for two sprays is all you need and it will last. Perfect for winter nights, bars, hanging out with the fellas, cigar rooms etc. I'm definitely considering a backup bottle. I know this fragrance is not for everyone but for me, its perfect!

Ok, tried edp and extrait today.... pretty different i tell you... The extrait is just a gourmand bomb, roasted (not burnt!) Hazelnuts very very dense (like a big overdose in a cookie), plus cognac (or rum whatever booze is in there). I find it powerful, accurate (as in hazelnuts flavour), nice and interesting for a gourmand scent. The edp is the other way around, the boozyness comes 1st (cognac or rum), strong, but nothing compares to the extrait "density," or punch, and in 2nd comes the roasted hazelnuts. Dense scent, strong booze, not poison, not nuclear bomb like all the freshies lovers write about. Stick to your Eau fresh or Bleu de Chanel! It's for... a night out for strong gentleman (this would kill any Ultramale or those crappy "kings of clubbing fragrances") 5* for edp 4* for extrait

Wow wow wow this is some pokey stuff, like others have said it is dark and powerful but also rich and intense, I’ve only just received bottle and it was a blind buy based on the notes and review by scented moments on YouTube. I love “by the fireplace” by MM and this is Quite different but obviously very nutty but in a much more serious way. Looking forward to waring this over the winter it will be perfect for cold nights but more for outdoor use this will choke people in close proximity. In a good way I think. My first purchase from this house. I ordered it from the UK yesterday and it came from Amsterdam today. Incredible service.... also got two samples only of which was NOOUD and it is possibly the most realistic leather fragrance I have ever smelled. Really impressed with this I love it

Perverso occupies the same rough terrain that Sova occupies. They don't smell the same, nor do they have similar accords, but the way ingredients are blended and completely altered is the same. Again, they don't smell the same, they're not even in the same category, but they certainly work the same. The dynamics, the layering and levelling -- both are extremely complex, multi-note scents that shift and move throughout. I mean, this is more gourmand, the tobacco is much more subdued, but where Sova heads off into a farm themed direction, this one hovers around the resins and sweeter notes. Both are pieces of art, and a pleasure to live in, but this one is MUCH more 'accepted', in an office-wear kind of sense. I love both, and both are remarkably different, but they work the same.

For me it smells amazing, almost perfect combination of hazelnut, cocoa, musk and smoky notes. But for everybody who sits near me or in the same room with me, it smells like lovage or parsley. Strong smell of garden herbs used for cooking. No exception, all of them said the same thing, that i smell like lovage and/or parsley and the room smells like a kitchen. I'm confused, i didn't expect Perverso to have the same effect on the others like Followed by Kerosene does. The longevity and sillage are enormous but unfortunately it's good for me and bad for the others. P.S. Yesterday i wore it at my office and when i got home, after 9 hours, my wife asked me if i spent the whole day in a kitchen instead of my office because me and my clothes have a strong smell of parsley. 😔

Oh my God!! This is the thought that came to my mind when I first smelled this fragrance. Do not look at the notes, because nothing is going to resemble the drawing, or the smells that your mind may try to guess. Darkness, this is what this composition generates in my mind. But not an unpleasant darkness, it is a darkness that attracts me, more and more. It is like opening a very old noble wood cabinet, loaded with tobacco, after a while hazelnut and cocoa smells come out, always with tobacco as the protagonist and it literally becomes a brutality of fragrance that you cannot stop smelling. Not suitable for all audiences, complicated and not very versatile, but its originality is well worth it. Uniqueness: high Scent: 8,5/10 Sillage: high Longevity: more 12h

I have received this a few days ago and i am definetly impressed. This perfume is quite unique because its one of the few that changes so radically. First 45 minutes are leaning more to chocolate / tobacco vibes after which it becomes very aromatic and almost medicinal but in a very pleasant way for my nose.Only after about 2 hours the strongest burnt hazelnut aroma begins to take the spotlight. This perfume shocked me exactly because of how pleasantly it changes and almost suprises you. It becomes a skin scent only about 12 hours after applying which is true Eternal longevity and i really preffer longevity in perfumes. Sillage still has to be tested but it seems like it projects quite well but in a very elegant and non-intrusive way. I really like it.

This is an amazing fragrance but as others have said, it is arguably the strongest perfume I've ever smelled. One or two sprays maximum and you best be outdoors when you wear it. You won't feel like you have to let it settle for awhile. If you wear it indoors, one spray...that's it!!! It's potency makes me feel like this more borderline gourmand than anything. It isn't later into the drydown that it's gourmand characteristics are fully able to be enjoyed and appreciated. In its heart, it reminds me of a dark butter-pecan flavor except the pecans smelled pleasantly roasted. Sample first....this is NOT for a beginner. This is for someone who wants to explore something much more adventurous and interesting.

I have one word for you. DARK. Baruti really dont mess around when it comes to creating intense and rich fragrances... I mean I dunno the whole line but been obsessed with their Nooud for a couple of years, recently ran out and decided to try their latest release Perverso. As somebody previously wrote on this thread, its a gourmand for people who hate sickly sweet fragrances. The gorgeously rich chocolate mixed in with the smell of tobacco and rum is to die for. I can't really smell the fig tbh, instead, I'm getting a touch of saltiness (could be ambergris in fairness) but yeah... it does exactly what it says on the bottle - a deviant concoction for perverted hedonists...YUM.

Blew me away at first sniff! Nutty, smoky, sweet and perfectly balanced. Roasted hazelnuts and tobacco work so well together and as it dries down the sweetness from caramel and cacao becomes more prominent which gives it an almost coffee-like feel. Projection is strong in the first 2 hours and stays a long time with a couple of sprays. Amongst thousands of gourmand fragrances, this one stands out as a unique concoction so make sure to try before you buy, some people may find it challenging. For me, this is where i want to be at in my fragrance journey, at this point of my life. Well done Baruti, i’m looking forward to discovering more from this house.

I'm not much for review writing but came across this fragrance house by accident and DAMN. I honestly just felt blown away by this perfume... It's not your typical in your face gourmand, I'd say its a fragrance for people who hate sickly sweet gourmands ... bitter, smokey at the top, with a definite chocolate heart, kinda boozy (boozy usually doesn't work on me) but the dry down of this one is so damn beautiful. Smelled leathery on my boyfriend and smelled woody/smokey on me... But overall, it's just delicious. If you are looking for something that really stands out and is different, you have found it! Bravo Baruti.

The strongest perfume I’ve ever tried. Lasted over 12 hours on the skin and clings to clothes very well. This perfume is perfect. It’s a brown sugary gourmand that can be worn by anyone. I was surprised at first to see how many people marked this as a masculine scent but upon further wears I can see what people are saying. It’s balancing the sweetness with a rich and smoky base coming from the tobacco that makes it unisex verging on masculine. Perverso could easily overpower someone who is sensitive to strong scents. A high quality perfume that delivers amazingly well. I look forward to getting a full bottle. 10/10

The description is so real for this one, i dislike gourmands but i absolutely love smelling this one In the opening i get rich nutty cream (cocoa and hazelnut) with incense/smoke nuances Like a hazelnut praline or photorealistic filling of kinder bueno As it's drying i'm starting to get more of the smokey tobacco that comes off slightly bitter in the base along with some resins and rum And as it's dried it's not as gourmand but rather rich smokey tobacco enveloped with rum on a base of musk It also develops slightly aromatic qualities, i'm guessing from styrax but i also detect some fig in there

Feel like this one might be highly underrated. There's a LOT going on in this fragrance to my nose. I can definitely pick out some hazelnut and caramel, almost burnt, with hints of rum and pipe tobacco. In a way, the sum smells a little bit like burnt rubber on a hot day... but not at all in an off-putting way (as I know that sounds). There's some incense smoke(?) I think too. but when you pull your nose back a few inches, give it a minute, and take it all in? It's quite beautiful and lovely. I can't stop sniffing it. I'll give it an 8.0/10.

Wow this is some strong stuff! Salty, nutty, boozy, dirty, sexy..in overdrive! This kind of fragrance you solely wear for your own pleasure. There are days when I am afraid to even get too close to the bottle, since it is so strong. On other days I am more brave and I smother myself with this raw sexy heavenly goodness. One spritz will get you through an entire day and night easily. Not suitable for work or social events.

Salty animalic chocolatey hazelnuts. This is definitely an animalic gourmand, the only one I have in this category is Taste of Womanity. They aren't similar btw. A one-spray wonder, performance is off the charts. I wasn't able to smell this at first, it's that strong. Amazing quality. Not for everyone, so try before you buy!
