Chasing Ghosts

6.9

Art Brüt · 2024

Floral · Green · Sweet

Art Brüt Chasing Ghosts is a unisex scent with a floral, green character that leans towards autumn and spring, and suits leisure time and evenings. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, with summer a clear minority. It moves easily from daytime to evenings out. Some read it as feminine, others as masculine or modern, so it doesn't settle on one gender. As a whole it reads floral and green, with a sweet, creamy side. Orange blossom absolute, grapefruit and pink pepper come forward, while tea, rhubarb and hemp add a green, spicy tone. White musk and ambroxan soften it and give it a smooth, synthetic finish. Close in profile are Borntostandout Dirty Heaven and Mancera Velvet Vanilla.

Weltschmerz

7.6

Art Brüt · 2024

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Art Brüt Weltschmerz is a unisex scent that lays spice, resin and smoke over a sweet, gourmand base, and it suits autumn and winter evenings. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening, night out and leisure lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are split evenly, so it doesn't lean either way. It opens with elemi resin, peach, clove and cinnamon, a spicy fruitiness. The heart carries labdanum, rose, ylang-ylang and whisky, floral and smoky in a warm way. In the base, vanilla, honey, tobacco and cedar settle it into a sweet, woody finish. Béjar Wood and Loumari Almeria have a close profile.

German Angst Zwei

7.4

Art Brüt · 2024

Fresh · Green · Fruity

Art Brüt German Angst Zwei is a fresh, green and spicy unisex scent that suits spring and summer days, daytime wear and the office. It opens with pink pepper, mandarin orange and bergamot, then moves into juniper, fig, peppermint and elemi resin. Cashmere wood, woods and patchouli make up the base, with a faint touch of animalic notes. The fresh, green and fruity side leads, with a synthetic and woody streak alongside. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall; daily, leisure and business wear lead, while night out and evening come well behind. It reads somewhat masculine, though its modern character works for anyone. Dior Dior Homme and Sospiro Mezzo have a close profile.

Disko Disko (Parfum)

7.5

Art Brüt · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Art Brüt Disko Disko (Parfum) is a powdery, sweet unisex scent built on frankincense, musk and iris, with a floral side set over a woody, resinous base. Frankincense opens on a resinous note, and the heart brings musk, Florentine iris and Indonesian patchouli. The base holds honey, iris and leather: the honey sweetens it, while the leather adds a dry, smoky edge. Overall it reads as a creamy, powdery floral softened by earthy and spicy touches. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, with summer trailing behind. It suits daily wear as well as office and evening settings, and voters split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably in between.

German Angst

6.8

Art Brüt

Green · Synthetic · Spicy

Art Brüt German Angst is a unisex scent that moves from a green, spicy start into an earthy, woody, leathery character; it has been discontinued. The top is cardamom, pepper and rose, with the spice taking the front seat over the rose. In the heart, vetiver, sandalwood and oud build a woody, earthy base. At the bottom, tonka bean and amber join oud and soften the whole. A synthetic edge also runs through the accords. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative picture. It suits anyone, man or woman, who wants a sharp, greenish oud. Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) and Montagne Parfums Oud Bois have a close profile.

Übermut

7.4

Art Brüt · 2026

Fresh · Green · Woody

Art Brüt Übermut is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, green character, set on a woody and powdery base. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is still small, so that view is not yet settled. It reads as suitable for both men and women. The notes come across as one whole rather than in stages: cucumber, green notes and galbanum give a cool, green freshness, while flintstone and kelp add a mineral edge. Sandalwood and suede soften this into a woody, powdery feel, and ambroxan leaves a clean trace behind.

Ai Am Jesus - Eau my God

6.7

Art Brüt · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Green

Art Brüt Ai Am Jesus - Eau my God is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, green character with sweet fruit and spice; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin and lasts through the day without filling a room. These ratings rest on a small number of votes. It sits in the middle ground, wearable by men and women alike. Pine needle and bergamot give it a green, lively freshness. Peony and rose add a soft floral touch, while candied apple and cinnamon bring the sweet, spicy side. Sandalwood and musk settle everything onto a smooth woody ground. The overall impression is fresh, fruity and sweet, with a slightly synthetic sheen.

Idealvorstellung

6.3

Art Brüt

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Art Brüt Idealvorstellung is a unisex scent where a floral, sweet character is rounded out by spice and wood; it has been discontinued. It opens with jasmine and crocus in a floral start. In the heart, saffron and black tea add a spicy, slightly dry note. The base settles on cedarwood and ambergris for a woody foundation, while the synthetic accord gives the whole a smooth, man-made feel. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards leisure, evening and night-out wear, with fewer choosing it for the office. Pascal Morabito Rouge and Afford Sweet Saffron have a close profile.

Je Ne Regrette Rien

6.9

Art Brüt · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Art Brüt Je Ne Regrette Rien is a unisex fragrance that softens a fresh citrus of bergamot, lemon and grapefruit with rose, geranium and sandalwood. Its sillage is rated as good, and most voters report strong projection, though the number of votes is small, so the trend is tentative. Nothing can be said here about longevity, season or occasion. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. The scent leans fresh and citrusy, with Italian bergamot, lemon and grapefruit lightly spiced by ginger. Rose and geranium add a floral, green side, while sweet and fruity tones stay in the background. Sandalwood, cashmere wood and white musk form a soft, powdery base, and black truffle adds a quiet depth to it.

Wet Dreams

6.6

Art Brüt · 2025

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Art Brüt Wet Dreams is a fresh, floral and aquatic unisex scent built around freesia, raspberry and cashmere. Freesia, peony and water lily lay a floral base, while raspberry adds a fruity, sweet edge. Cashmere and white musk keep it creamy and soft, and the marine notes bring an aquatic freshness. The notes read as one whole rather than in stages, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It suits anyone looking for a fresh, light-handed scent that doesn't weigh heavy. Annayake Niji for Her and Furla Autentica have a close profile.

Unfinished Business

6.2

Art Brüt

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Art Brüt Unfinished Business is a unisex fougère that sets a fresh, citrusy opening against a spicy, woody base; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, though with few ratings behind them this is only a rough guide. It neither disappears quickly nor fills the room, and its character suits men and women alike, with an easy, everyday feel. Bergamot and lavender open it cleanly. In the heart, mint and pepper add coolness and a bit of spice. Patchouli, vetiver and woods form a dry, woody base. Sweet, powdery and creamy touches among the accords soften the freshness.
