Fatale

7.8

Profundum · 2026

Floral · Synthetic · Spicy

Profundum Fatale is a spicy, smoky unisex fragrance that opens on Sichuan pepper, black pepper and pink pepper, then deepens into incense, suede and resins. The peppers lead, laying down a dry, sharp layer of spice. In the heart, incense and suede build a leathery, smoky base, softened by osmanthus and iris with a floral touch. The base of resins, patchouli and amber leaves a warm, woody, oriental finish. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads somewhat masculine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine.

Cross

7.8

Profundum · 2026

Citrus · Floral · Green

Profundum Cross is a woody, resinous and smoky unisex scent built around sacramental bread, black spruce and incense. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though both ratings rest on only a few votes. Its unisex character keeps it from leaning to either side; it feels heavy, quiet and inward. The top carries sacramental bread, black spruce, cypress and elemi resin. The heart brings spices, frankincense, myrrh and an old book accord. In the base, cedar, marble and moss lay a woody floor under the incense. Citrus and green touches lighten the dark picture slightly. Its profile is close to Parfums DelRae Bois de Paradis and Neela Vermeire Créations Trayee.

8.1

Profundum · 2026

Synthetic · Woody · Resinous
