What It Smells Like
Vulnus opens with a striking metallic accord, evoking cold, oxidised iron against dark black vanilla and leather. The opening has a distinctly industrial, almost rusty quality, giving the fragrance an abrasive edge before the sweeter elements begin to emerge. Reviews describe this opening as everything from metallic and sharp to reminiscent of rusty machinery or an abandoned hospital.
As it develops, the harsh metallic character is joined by jasmine and burnt caramel. The caramel brings a dark, slightly smoky sweetness rather than a straightforward sugary gourmand effect, while the leather remains present underneath. This creates the central tension of Vulnus: cold metal against warm, caramelised sweetness and skin-like leather.
In the dry down, the composition becomes considerably richer and more gourmand. Crème brûlée and VOV liqueur bring creamy, boozy sweetness, with vanilla becoming increasingly prominent. The metallic and leather facets can remain detectable throughout, preventing the fragrance from becoming a conventional dessert scent. Reviews range from creamy vanilla and gourmand to darker, dirtier and more medicinal interpretations.
Overall, the fragrance feels like a dark gourmand built around the contrast between cold oxidised metal, worn leather and warm caramelised sweetness.
