About V.I.T.R.I.O.L
V.I.T.R.I.O.L by Maqueda Perfume: A Characterful Unisex Scent
V.I.T.R.I.O.L is the latest unisex perfume from Maqueda Perfume, arriving in 2026. It belongs to an olfactive family that is animalic, musky, and woody.
The top notes bring together sandalwood, violet leaves, and lily of the valley, while the heart introduces rubber, civet, patchouli, leather, pear, and Bourbon vanilla.
V.I.T.R.I.O.L is notable for its daring combination of accords. The warmth of sandalwood and patchouli sits alongside leather and animalic touches, giving the perfume a bold and unconventional personality.
The middle stage is where the rubber and civet emerge, adding a dry, almost raw depth. Pear and Bourbon vanilla temper that intensity, offering a gentle sweetness that keeps the composition balanced.
Violet leaf and lily of the valley at the start create a fresh, green impression. That soon gives way to something denser, with earthy and powdery undertones and a faint rubbery edge.
At the base, redcurrant, strawberry, blackcurrant, and Turkish rose bring fruity and floral warmth. The final impression is a warm, lightly spiced trail with a smooth, powdery dry-down.
Based on an average score of 3.39 out of 5 from 23 ratings and 2 reviews, V.I.T.R.I.O.L is clearly a love-it-or-hate-it proposition. It’s made for those who seek out distinctive, complex scents.
This perfume suits wearers who enjoy intense, animalic, and woody compositions and want a unisex fragrance that stands out from the crowd.
V.I.T.R.I.O.L is a bold new perfume built on contrasts. If leather, patchouli, and animalic notes appeal to you, this is one to test on your own skin.

Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Honestly I don’t think it resembles “Hora de la verdad: Sombra” at all. Vitriol smells musky, animalic, leathery, but with some slightly fruity notes that make it much more pleasant than its brother “Rigor mortis”. I thought it was grape, but apparently it’s red currant and strawberry. I feel it could have easily been part of the Grigia, Farmakon, etc. collection.
Very propositive house, one of those whose perfumes are more olfactory experiences than something you want to wear (or that you need to have a certain value to do so). The one I liked the most out of the 6 in the collection. In the opening, a fresh, clean smell, but at the same time damp/earthy and spicy. A curious, distinctive smell that I liked and that becomes the backbone of the fragrance, it’s always there. In the dry-down, the accompanying notes make it lose some of that cleanliness and I find they dirty it. It becomes saltier (gray amber again? this man really likes it) and musky/dirty accords are more noticeable, sometimes I even detect a smell of crotch or piss (Sadonaso style).
