Hey boy, hey girl – here are
deep, dark and delicious
scents that live in the realm of
smoke and kohl. Rook founder
Nadeem Crowe makes scents that
are less like perfumes, more like
every fantasy of a holiday fling
you’ve ever had: tobacco, leather
and incense, sun-baked earth and
warm, musky, herb-scented skin.
Byredo’s Deep Viola is another
that’s rich in leather and incense –
a treacly blend of violet, vanilla
and agarwood, it’s as addictive as
they come. Explore vetiver, too,
says Crowe. ‘I’m not one to create
scent for sex appeal, but if I did,
I can guarantee it would have
a high concentration of vetiver.
With nuances of wood, leather,
earth and smoke, it’s classically
considered a masculine note. But
if we negate that description and
think of it as luxurious, strong
and seductive, then we all know
as many women to whom that
applies.’ Dare you? You do.
‘There’s
something
alluring about
the mystical
aspect of
incense, almost
like a doorway
to the past’
Nadeem Crowe, Rook
