Treachery

Well well, this is something special- a booze lovers dream! If you like a whisky note this is the only fragrance you'll ever need. I've never smelt anything quite like it, the note is heavy hitting, potently strong and so realistic it's almost like you've doused yourself in a high quality scotch.... seriously this stuff will singe your nose hairs for the first 5 mins or so. It does calm down eventually, just as weIl as folk are liable to think you've just come from the pub! If you've smelt baraonda, imagine the whisky note in that x10. Great stuff.

The people who claim this is "too sweet" and "too boozy" all have some of the most ridiculously sweet or boozy fragrances on the market in their collections so I wonder where these reviews are coming from. In any case, I think both this and the barrel aged versions of these are both superlative examples of their kind. I mean gosh golly gee imagine a boozy fragrance smelling boozy and gosh golly gee even more imagine the barrel aged version being boozy.

Potent good quality whiskey opening followed closely by a great, moist, raw almond/cherry tobacco accord. 3-4 hours in, everything softens down to a soft cacao vanilla for a further several hours. Sweet, but no more so than plenty of others in this genre. Also, not particularly beastly. If you want that, try Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco or Baruti Perverso. I enjoy the craftsmanship here. Feels like a proper small batch Indie fragrance. Very nice.

Maher Olfactive has put out a really great fragrance in Treachery. It's maybe the most photorealistic boozy tobacco fragrance out there, with an emphasis on booze stored in old oak barrels. It's like a night out with Jack Sparrow. It has great longevity for me and good projection. Not a ton of compliments but people do like the smell of it. Probably more of a nighttime fragrance. 10/10.

This stuff is amazing! I have a hard time calling many fragrances ‘boozy’ that are generally referred to as a boozy fragrance, however this one perfectly fits the bill.. it’s like straight whiskey and pipe tobacco with some warm chocolate floating around. It’s worth a try!
