Ozymandias

opens with a burst of spicy resin, the pepper very prominent but not too sharp at all. as time passes by, the vanilla seems to bloom and the cashmere becomes present, in a slightly cozy way. i love it! it's a very nice, kinda sexy skin scent. i bought a full bottle of it and it's probably the most wearable from the line, but i love the creativity of the house as a whole

I hardly change my perfume, but when I first smelled Ozymandias, I was hooked. It's my favorite fragrance, and being a niche and boutique brand makes it even better—few people use it. Whenever I wear Ozymandias, people around me often ask about the scent. If you enjoy unique, spicy, and woody fragrances, Ozymandias is perfect for you!

This is one of my roommates everyday fragrances and I borrow it a lot. On him it’s very masculine and on me it’s quite feminine, it’s an androgynous and morphs to the wearer. It opens quite green and resinous and dries down musky and vanillic but still with the amber. It’s so sexy like eyes rolling back in your head 🩷 ugh

Resinous style vanilla-incense combo. This is done super well and blended excellently. This reminds me of the less sweet version of Encens sauve. If I were to buy, I’d definitely reach for this over that one since it’s a bit more incense heavy.

I think I’ll call this genre a “dark academia vanilla”. Imagine an old library: leather armchairs, dusty shelves, the scent of aged wood lingering in the air. Everything feels antique. This is a piney, resin-laden vanilla-leather blend; worn, slightly damp, with plenty of labdanum (likely where the leathery nuance comes from). It’s both warm and cold at once: cozy, yet touched by cellar chill. There’s also that unmistakable note of elemi, the same damp, balsamic depth I once admired in Ambra by L. Villoresi. It adds a certain ancient gravity. Overall, it’s a pleasant scent; atmospheric, evocative but not particularly unique. Tag(s): leathery vanilla, dar academia, old library

reminds me a bit of Tiziana Terenzi - Dionisio not the same, but there are some hints. I think it is more ambery than sweet and Dionizio is a bit more musky and sweet. This is totally unisex, warm, feels a bit synthetic but not in a bad way, there is something in this that feels reminiscent. Like you already smelled it in the past. It really warms up on the skin so I think it changes a lot on each individual. Also feels a bit sexy, this sexiness is not obvious, but there is something alluring. I think this is a great scent for evenings. For a date.

Ozymandias. This is not your typical vanilla. It leans completely unisex, blending piney and resinous notes with a soft leathery nuance that makes the vanilla feel darker and more textured.

Very resinous, vanillic, acidic amber. Reminded me of a body prickling with cold. Yea, despite all these warm tones, I’m cold.

the moment i saw this i immediately went "there's a WHAT." ozymandias mentioned.
