my fave fall fragrances —
ébène fumé - tom ford
a trace of smoke lingering in the air, like the scent of a house long since emptied of its people. it reminds you of the afternoons spent staring out of a window, watching the world turn amber, a slow-burning warmth in a cold room.
vicious cacao - maison tahité
a taste left on the tongue, sharp and rich, like biting into the kind of chocolate that takes you back to a café on a street you’ll never walk again. it’s bittersweet. something you savor, even though you know it’s fleeting.
spice must flow - etat libre d’orange
the smell of spices cuts through the air like a memory of something you can’t quite place. it feels like sitting in a room full of strangers, watching their lives unfold, wondering where they’ve been and how far you’ve yet to go.
ambre eccentrico - giorgio armani
the light hits just right, and for a moment everything glows in a soft haze of amber. it’s the scent of a late afternoon, when the world feels golden, but you know the night is coming, and with it, a quiet kind of loneliness.
private accord for her - hugo boss
the scent of coffee and something sweet, like a meeting that wasn’t meant to last. you wonder what it would have been like if you had stayed a little longer, lingered in the warmth of the conversation, let the scent of it stay with you.
tobacco, oud & vanilla - aaron terence hughes
the smell of tobacco clings to ur clothes, the kind that feels nostalgic even though it never really belonged to you. it reminds you of watching someone from a distance, wanting to hold onto something you never truly had.
east - akro
there’s a restlessness in this scent, a reminder of a place you’ve never been, yet you long for it. it’s the scent of leaving, of journeys not yet taken, of looking out at the horizon and feeling the pull of somewhere else.
eyes closed - byredo
a moment of intimacy, so brief you wonder if it even happened. it’s soft, quiet, like the warmth of someone’s hand in yours for just a second before they pull away. a scent that feels like closeness you can’t quite touch.
herod - parfums de marly
it’s the feeling of holding something delicate, knowing it won’t last. the tobacco is heavy, but there’s something underneath; soft, like the way a memory fades but never fully disappears. a sweetness that lingers in the silence.
volutes eau de toilette - diptyque
the smell of smoke curls around you like a memory from long ago, a time when everything felt simpler. it’s the scent of things left behind, drifting in the air like something you can’t quite grasp, but feel with every breath.

Gerry and Michael (Shelly or distortion) for the perfume ask thing :]
Gerry:
for Gerry I've already given him A City on Fire by Imaginary Authors, but I think he'd also enjoy Ink by Akro! the notes in Ink are vetiver, birch, jasmine, and--just as the name might suggest--ink. it's supposed to evoke a cold, dark ink. for someone so involved with tattoos and books, I think that that would be both nostalgic and ironic for Gerry.
Michael Shelley:
I imagine that Michael Shelley would want something soft. not jarring, not overpowering, not too sharp. something that would be pleasant if you caught a whiff of it on the street, and comforting in your day-to-day life. for him I'd pick Memoirs of a Trespasser by Imaginary Authors. the main notes are vanilla, wood (guaiac and oak barrels), and myrrh. it's a warm, ever-so-slightly boozy wood and vanilla scent that smells like well-worn autumn sweaters. (yes there is some bias here because Memoirs is one of my favorite scents and Michael is one of my favorite characters lol but I still think it fits!)
Michael Distortion:
ooooooh yes, okay! let's go with something weird. for Michael Distortion I'm gonna go with Soma by Alkemia. the concept of the fragrance is that it uses the scents of psychoactive plants! so it's got notes of cannabis, artemisia, spanish broom, opium poppy, morning glory, and snake root, and then a dash of absinthe on top. this scent sounds like it would be a bit unpleasant, but also intriguing. it's a sharp departure from what I would imagine the OG Michael to have worn, but I feel like that dissonance only heightens the experience of interacting with a creature that both is and isn't Michael.
#I have more michael distortion options don't worry#I'm trying to give something new each time a character is repeated!#tma#the magnus archives#gerard keay#gerry keay#michael shelley#michael distortion#the distortion#perfume#scent#magpod#bs.txt#ask murderandcoffee#laf-e-taffy

today's scent of the day is an out-of-character gourmand for me .. it's really nice for cold weather and it's people pleasing i think but it reads as margiela's by the fireplace but with lemon instead of smoke. i like by the fireplace and i like this, but they are undeniably very similar with that vanilla base. wish the rum was more prominent. surprisingly i don't mind the citrus in this particular formulation; i wouldn't buy a full bottle but i think it's nice to have a lil something sweet and delicious every now and then. (if i were to buy a full bottle of a lemon dessert sweet fragrance it would not be this one, it would be remember me by jovoy - much more rounded, mature and not so sugary)

a brief question about seasons and perfumes: how would one wear a coffee scent in the summer? i fear it would be too heavy or out of place for the summer months, but i do reach for it on instinct. thoughts or recommendations? thank you darling!
Hi Love! ☕️🦢
I think in general seasonal perfume choices depend on (1) the summer (2) the perfume (3) you.
Depending on where you're from, temperatures and humidity will vary, so a certain scent might feel too heavy at one place, while being perfectly wearable somewhere else.
Then, the other notes that compose the scent also play an important role in its overal impression. Coffee, to me, is a neutral scent, but I see how it’s often composed in warm-spicy fragrances that feel better suited for cold weather. Lush's Cardamon Coffee for example is said to be purely a winter scent, with its spicy-woody quality. Meanwhile I personally am just starting to wear J'Ose by Eisenberg again, which has mint and lemon in the beginning to add to the lavender/mocha combo later, which to me makes it suitable for the mild weather with its cool wind and warm rain we're experiencing right now (I'm not sure I'd wear it in the height of summer, though. We'll have to wait and see). Then I think something like Black Opium is so well-loved and popular that I don't think it would be that outrageous to wear it in summer? It's the signature scent of quite a lot of people, so I could imagine you might just come across is in summer, too. Popularity sometimes means scents become universal to some degree.
Lastly, it really comes down to what you personally enjoy. In my experience, taste and the desire to smell something change naturally as the seasons change. But what they change into - or whether they change at all - is a purely personal matter. If it's 35C outside and you feel like Cardamon Coffee is the perfect scent for you and it's exactly what you want to wear, do it!
Re: Possible summer alternatives... I’m not an expert on coffee scents — unfortunately I’m still searching for one I absolutely love, so I can’t really recommend any at this point that would be summer specific. What I randomly stumbled upon as I was doing research is Florabellio by Diptyque, which seems to combine coffee with sea breeze notes. I haven't smelled it, but maybe that could be of interest for you? 🌊🌬️☕️ J'Ose and Awake (by Akro) also feature lighter citrus notes in some way, which might lift the scent and make it lighter. And Black Opium has many flankers, maybe one of them feels more warm weather appropriate while keeping that coffee note?
To sum it up: fragrance does depend on the season, but I don’t think you have to worry too much about whether your coffee scent will be appropriate to wear in a few months. When the time (and weather) comes and you find yourself reaching for it still, wear it! Maybe wear it a little lighter, use less sprays if you’re worried about it being out of place or inappropriate. But all in all, I don't think you have to worry :) Enjoy your ️coffee in a bottle! ☕️

hello! i have two prompts 1) i have been searching for an actual coffee fragrance that isn’t overly saccharine for ages so if you had any recommendations for that… 🤲 2) maybe a fragrance collection for the song carry me ohio by sun kil moon? thank you :)
if you're looking for fragrances that actually smell like coffee instead of something sweet with just a hint, you're going to want one of these bad boys:
awake by akro!
one of the most iconic coffee fragrances by people who want to actually smell like a barista. the rest of the notes add a fresher, citrus balance to the overwhelming dark coffee, so as it dries up it fades into a pleasant more balanced fragrance. mostly just coffee coffee coffee
followed by kerosene!
don't let the other notes fool you on this, followed is still absolutely a coffee fragrance, but it's a good choice if you want to smell like a nice caramel latte you'd get at a cafe....it is VERY STRONG though. you'll see all over the reviews how strong this one is. to me it makes me think of when walmart had an aisle of coffee bean dispensers...i loved the smell of those and this makes me think of it. it will linger for a long time and is a good choice if you're big on coffee smells
coffee break by replica is another very common coffee fragrance and one you might have seen while searching for some. i don't think it's a bad option whatsoever but it might be a bit more sweet than you're hoping for. replica makes good stuff though so i'll plug it in here
for carry me ohio:
tellus by les liquides imaginaires!
a soft, reaaaally earthy smell. sort of like wet earth almost. for some reason it gives me the vibe of the setting of the song
i think casting shadows by indie brand solstice smells could also work!

my most ill thing recently is wondering what cologne or EDT the dn characters would wear. i know i said Sauvage for light because
1. butches have a sickness about this fragrance because it IS effortless and timeless
2. its annoyingly masculine and i also find it tasteless and atrocious
but also I could see him possibly picking YSL Y because well *I* am a YSL fan (myslf moreso and NO fragheads must flame me for this because it is a compliment getter and perfectly sexless and fresh)(goes with everything) but also I think he'd be especially annoying over brand name fragrances especially later on as he ages.
but also Tom Ford seems his style too same with Chris Collins. And I also associate him strongly (not that he'd WEAR it lmfao he'd recoil at the thought) with Inexcusable Evil by Toskovat. Because well... Y'know
Misa's perfume house is Marissa Zappas to me, Annabel's Birthday Cake (which I own a sample of) is a *perfect* fragrance for her to me, its the latex vanilla lemoncake vibes. Anything with a latex or plastic-y note resonates with me as a *her* fragrance
L wears nothing to me because he doesn't even like to dress himself also I think most scents are sensory nightmares to him but I associate ambrette and straight vanilla or coffee fragrance notes with him so probably like... Akro's Awake or Montale's Café
And well Mikami is a YSL MYSLF enjoyer because like I said it's fresh it's sexless it's perfectly inoffensive and an easy grab. He doesn't care for being flashy either with name brands but I think he'd appreciate effortless grabs because I imagine it to be an integral thing to his routine

Are there any fragrances that smell or look like my recent posts ? 💋🐲💋🐲
I'm thinking of something metallic, smoky or animalic.
Montana Parfum de Peau (I have a hunch commentor might be talking about a vintage formulation, however.)
Agent Provocateur, the original. The saffron note is prone to coming off as a little rubbery for some. I guess some people fear being unable to disassociate chypres from their image of a grandma, but it's time to bring them back. I see people starting to call Escada and Juicy Couture "mature".
Tom Ford Metallique, seems like quite a wearable aldehyde scent to me.
Lush Breath of God. Sadly, I've yet to try the actual spray version. The solid smells a bit like tiger balm but VERY smoky. I hear rumors this one has a wacky melon note that might come off as a little rotten.
Akro Ink, built to mimic the vibe of a tattoo parlor.

AKRO FRAGRANCES - NIGHT - Eau de Parfum
That dark object of desire. Push yourself beyond melt into the excess of the night and capitulate. •••••
Possiamo autorizzare una fragranza a raccontare più di quanto vorremmo?Possiamo concederle il privilegio di sostituirsi a un desiderio e incarnare la voglia più profonda? Possiamo.
Un viaggio olfattivo tra gli eccessi, attraverso vizi e tentazioni, dove scoprire che anche il profumo è dipendenza. La mistica dell’olfatto tra aromi reali e immaginati, sensi sollecitati da note peccaminose e divine in rutilante contrapposizione…dove il naso è la porta di ogni emozione e la fragranza la guida nel paradiso dei sensi.
Tentazioni a cui cedi senza remore, piccole manie, momenti che ci appartengono e per i quali sviluppiamo un’assoluta dipendenza. Dediti alla sperimentazione, educati all’esuberanza, sognatori liberi e convinti ad esercitare l’inalienabile diritto a godersi la vita, Anaïs Cresp e Jack Miskelly fondano Akro, marchio londinese della profumeria artistica alternativa con un sola idea in mente, imbottigliare le loro dipendenze.
Fumo, alcool, caffè, vita notturna, sono solo alcuni dei riferimenti olfattivi citati nella loro collezione. Sei fragranze che promettono il piacere dell’eccesso, plasmate a misura da Olivier Cresp, Naso di assoluto spicco e padre di Anaïs.
Nelle pieghe odorose di Night si annidano le avventure di una notte, passione e stordimento, fascino e mistero, malizia e provocazione. La composizione accende una sensuale rosa bulgara velata dalle sfumature speziate calde e terrose di cumino e zafferano, all’evoluzione impetuosa di legni e oud spetta il richiamo più suadente, un’inarrestabile attrazione carnale. Astenersi indecisi e titubanti.
Creata da Olivier Cresp.
Eau de Parfum 100 ml. In profumerie selezionate e nei Bar à Parfums Olfattorio anche online

I recently purchased Akro’s sample set from SSENSE on a whim and was pleasantly surprized. Each scent offers a remarkably faithful rendering of a familiar ingredient before drying down into a pleasant, well executed designer finish. I’ll also note they are reasonably priced at US$80/30ml and US$160/100ml. While this feels a bit high, it’s in step with the rampant inflation in the fragrance sector in recent years.
Awake - This is like sticking your face into a freshly ground bag of coffee beans. The scent has massive projection. The coffee accord fades into a more generic gourmand toffee sweetness with a touch of bitterness. Awake is what I think Cresp wanted to do with YSL's Black Opium. I couldn't detect any coffee in Black Opium even though it's in the notes pyramid - it’s your predictable loud designer sugarbomb. The two fragrances are presented as dissimilar, but we start getting some family resemblance to Black Opium in the sweet toffee dry down.
Dark - Dark is something of a redundant scent, given other similar sweet chocolatey scents on the market like Tom Ford’s classic Tobacco Vanille, Prada’s Candy Night and so on. Cresp’s take is not a bitter dark, but one that is a little fudgey, if not milky. The drydown becomes more gummy in texture as the sweetness becomes more amped up.
Malt - Possibly the most unsuccessful in this collection, Malt edges uncomfortably close to acrylic paint on my skin instead of the peaty darkness I was expecting. This is due to the “seaweed” note which is creative, but not necessarily in a good way. I appreciate that this scent is not sweet and predictable, with the liquor itself opening more sour than boozy but the “seaweed” dominates the composition with its salty, metallic character, one that is shared with Sécrétions Magnifiques. It overpowers the original concept, even in the dry down as the woods start to strengthen. Definitely one to test on skin first.
Smoke - It seems like every new niche house needs to release a smoky fragrance these days. You know the type. It’s a bit spicy with a touch of leather, maybe some bull-bore butch cade or BBQ patchouli, a sweet amber in the base. Thankfully, Smoke offers a somewhat different take. It’s not particularly spicy, opening with more of a medicinal edge and an unexpected grain-like note that dries down into something more ashy, then vanillaic. The cade is gentle, no acrid plumes of burning rubber. The tobacco is similarly subtle, no cliched, honey drenched leaves. Smoke doesn’t muscle its way into the genre but rather, sets itself slightly apart with its weirdness. Unfortunately, Smoke also gives me a wallop of a headache so it’s a hard pass.
Haze - Haze is a cannabis fragrance, even though this is not mentioned in the notes pyramid or promotional copy save accompanying photographs. Instead there’s reference to absinthe which I think is a cop out as there isn’t any anise, just some cooling notes.
I had low expectations for Haze because in my experience, cannabis fragrances never resemble the real deal. No one wants to smell like skunk, those unpleasant thiols that the terpenes in cannabis resemble so closely. However, Haze is probably the closest approximation I've come across while remaining entirely wearable. At first whiff I immediately thought, yet another fragrance cashing in on trying to be edgy. But then, this dank bud starting taking shape. There's definitely no skunk, but Cresp managed to accurately capture that deep, vegetal aspect of cannabis that comes up from below. It's like he modified the top, editing weed’s citrusy, hoppy top to something closer to a traditional fougere, deleted the skunky middle and then kept the bottom. I'm genuinely impressed. As a whole, it still does not smell like cannabis, but you can pick out a shared dankness. Dries down to a pleasant, barbershoppy aromatic.
Night - Unlike the others, Night doesn’t reproduce a substance so much as an experience of a late night out clubbing, your body pressed up against some stranger’s. Akro’s most polarizing scent confronts the nose with what smells to me like sweaty male crotch with a touch of leather contrasting with a synthetic, metallic and somewhat powdery rose. As the assertive cumin and harsh edges of the rose soften, the scent becomes downright snuggly. I enjoy animalic fragrances and Night’s post-coital dry down but the rose is not my style. It also feels too dissonant with the rest of the scent so it misses the mark for me. Having said that, this fragrance celebrates Cresp at his most unapologetic. I am reminded of the devil-may-care dirty patchouli in his blockbuster hit, Angel; the daring dash of cumin he introduced in his reformulation of Femme. At a time when “niche” is being reduced to a never ending deluge of safe bets and cliched releases, an affordable, insouciant, raunchy romp of a fragrance is like a breath of fresh air.

Akro Fragrances 1st Impressions & Compliment Test
The stories behind each of the six scents are rooted in the hipster corners of London and inspired by the memories of that special time in their lives, when Anais and Jack fell in love with life and each other. Founded by modern Master Perfumer Olivier Cresp, his forward-thinking daughter Anais Cresp, and her partner in life, Jack Miskelly, Akro pushes fragrance beyond established norms. Akro is always intriguing, sometimes polarizing, never predictable.
HAZE: Fresh hashish permeates the air on a hot summer night. Tokes are passed, beats are blasting, bodies throbbing. Inspired by cannabis and Notting Hill Carnival, HAZE is the smell of the green, infused with clary sage and absinthe.
SMOKE: This is the scent you’re not supposed to like but cannot resist. It’s the satisfaction of a slow, first drag. Nicotine is within the essence of SMOKE, along with birch leaf, tonka beans, and tobacco.
AWAKE: What’s the antidote for that unforgettable night? Caffeine. With notes of green cardamon, lemon and coffee bean, AWAKE is like the morning fix that brings you back to life.
DARK: Inspired by Anais and Jack’s favorite chocolatier, DARK is like a sophisticated guilty pleasure, with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, cinnamon and dark chocolate.
NIGHT: It’s lust, sweat and heat. A one-night stand. NIGHT is sex — not love — with notes of white musk, saffron and cumin.
MALT: Rum, whiskey, leather and seaweed bring forth the sensory experience of a really good whiskey. MALT reminds you of spirits that deliver a bite to the tongue and warmth to the cheeks.
