Sweet whiskey, smoke and spices
Description:
The fragrance draws directly from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, specifically the idea of a man granted eternal life who has exhausted every pleasure and vice, yet feels nothing.

Beneath the elegance of a dandy, it is a soul without a reference point, undisciplined and empty, wandering in a luxury that has become automatic. The word "spleen" is used in the French Baudelairean sense, a deep, aristocratic melancholy and existential ennui, not the organ. It's a fragrance built around the feeling of being jaded by everything
