Inconfessable

Inconfessable, a 2020 fragrance from Wilgermain composed by Rodrigo Flores-Roux, is a dry spice-and-wood scent with no fruit, flowers or sweetness listed. Everyone who describes it calls it spicy, and about half add woody; nothing else appears.

The spices are the whole top and middle. Ginger gives a sharp, fresh heat, cardamom a cool, aromatic, slightly green spice, and coriander a lemony, peppery edge. Black pepper and pepper bring the dry tingle, and nutmeg a warmer, sweeter, slightly dusty note. The base is cedar and woody notes, crisp and pencil-like, with patchouli adding an earthy depth that keeps the spice from drifting off too quickly.

It is worn by anyone. A fragrance this focused suits cooler months and daytime or evening wear equally, and a wearer who likes spice as the main event rather than a seasoning, and who prefers a dry finish to an ambery one.
