Strangers Parfumerie - Sombre

Sombre by Strangers Parfumerie is a fragrance that invites you to descend into the shadowy recesses of the human condition, like stepping into an unsettling yet captivating art film. This Eau de Parfum blends decadence with decay, creating an arresting contrast that challenges conventional notions of beauty. The perfume juxtaposes effervescent notes against deeply animalic and earthy accords, crafting a bold and provocative scent that lingers in the mind long after it fades from the skin. Sombre is an evocative and daring fragrance, designed for those who embrace the avant-garde and are unafraid to confront darkness in pursuit of truth.

The fragrance opens with the bright, sparkling scent of champagne, providing a transient moment of glamour and brightness before the descent begins. As the fragrance unfolds, intense and unsettling accords of vomit, mold, pus, and sweat emerge, painting a raw and uncompromising portrait of the body in decline. These challenging notes are softened ever so slightly by elegant floral touches of jasmine, tuberose, and rose, adding a ghostly trace of beauty amid the decay. The perfume settles into a deeply animalic base of musk and earthy mud, grounding the experience in primal instinct and instinctive emotion. The resulting composition is haunting, visceral, and profoundly artistic.
