Perfume / Smoky & resinous / Burn the Ships
Burn the Ships
Saffron, clove, and smoke over dark woods. Bold, sensual, sexy.
Fragrance Notes: Saffron, clove, smoke + dark woods.
Burn the Ships is a fire made fragrance. It begins with saffron and clove, spices that strike immediately with sharp intensity, before smoke drifts in and transforms the air around it. Woods smolder at the base, grounding the heat in quiet depth, a hum of structure that keeps the firealive on skin for hours.
The opening is magnetic, almost dangerous, pulling people closer without effort. There is something primal in its warmth, something that makes you think of late nights and last looks, of stepping forward when hesitation would be easier. Burn the Ships does not apologize. It demands presence.
As it develops, the smoke softens into a sensual warmth, still spiced, still burning, but more intimate, more lasting. It becomes not just fragrance, but a feeling — of momentum, of risk, of stepping into the unknown with nothing held back.
Burn the Ships is not about restraint. It is about heat and intention, about refusing to turn back, about wearing something unforgettable.
The highest concentration we make. Dense, slow to open, and built to keep changing for eight to ten hours on skin.

From the perfumer
Why this one exists
Saffron and clove open warm and a little bitter. Smoke comes up underneath and stays. Ambergris softens the edges later in the day, so what's left is warm skin with a trace of smoke.
