Peccatum

Peccatum from Profumo di Firenze, released in 2022, is a dark rose with leather, tobacco and incense. People who describe it find it equally woody, floral and amber, and about half also notice spice, resin and leather.

Saffron opens with a warm, leathery, honeyed spice. The heart is rose, including Damask rose, deep and velvety. Around it, the composition turns dark and earthy: leather adds a smooth, tanned texture, tobacco a dry, honeyed leafiness, incense a smoky, ceremonial haze, and earthy and mineral notes a damp-soil, flinty quality. The base is warm and resinous, with labdanum and amber giving an ambery sweetness, patchouli an earthy depth and vetiver a grassy smokiness.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like rose in its most brooding, sensual form. Peccatum means sin, and the profile fits: autumn and winter evenings, intimate occasions and nights out. Those who enjoy rose, leather and incense compositions with an earthy, mineral twist should find it dramatic and absorbing.
