Smile of Chaos

Smile of Chaos, released by RARA AVIS in 2025, is spicy and woody in equal measure, with ambery and citrus sides and lighter musky and leathery touches. It is a dry, peppery scent worn by anyone.

The notes work as one blend. Black pepper, pepper and cardamom give a sharp, dry and slightly cool spice. Citrus adds a bright, zesty lift that keeps the opening lively. Incense brings a thin, resinous smoke, and leather a smooth, slightly dark texture. The base is woody and warm: cedar gives a dry, clean structure, vetiver an earthy, grassy depth, and amber and musk a soft, golden warmth.

Its peppery, smoky woody character suits autumn and winter, evenings and smart occasions, but it can also work by day in cooler weather. It is likely to appeal to anyone who likes spicy, dry woods with a touch of leather and incense rather than sweet fragrances.
