Ondskan by Dark Tales: A Dark, Leather-Led Scent with Gunpowder and Animal Depth
Dark Tales introduces Ondskan, a new leather fragrance for women and men, composed by perfumer Arina P. Franzén. Arriving in 2026, it is a moody, story-rich creation that moves far from conventional perfume territory.
Tomato leaves, cognac and resin create a bright, surprising opening; vetiver, stone, spices and gaiac wood shape a mineral heart. The finish is intense: gunpowder, animalic notes and blood sit alongside moss, hyraceum, leather, incense, resins and woody notes.
Ondskan works as a layered olfactory tale. The tomato leaf note feels sharp and green, the cognac adds a subtle booziness, and the resinous opening gives the scent a slightly dark glow from the very start.
The heart builds on this tension with vetiver and gaiac wood offering a smoky, textured feel. Stone and spices bring a dry, mineral edge, ensuring the composition never becomes soft or predictable.
The final act is unmistakably Dark Tales. Gunpowder, animalic notes, blood, moss, hyraceum, leather, incense, resins and woody accords combine to leave a trail that is smoky, metallic and deeply animal.
The fragrance is anchored by a series of distinctive accords: animalic, mossy, mineral, smoky, metallic, earthy and musky. Together they give Ondskan an almost tangible texture, and it continues to shift while worn.
The first three reviews place it at an average of 4.67 out of 5, an encouraging sign for such an uncompromising niche release.
Ondskan is aimed at perfume wearers who are drawn to leather, incense and bold, dark materials. It suits both women and men, and it works particularly well as an evening scent, in colder months, or as a recognisable fragrance signature.
Ondskan is a fearless, atmospheric composition. It does not court mass appeal, but its mineral, animalic and smoky leather character is magnetic. For those who want their perfume to tell a story, this is a compelling choice.
