TOMAHAWK by Modern Armorist: New Woody-Spicy Unisex Scent

Modern Armorist presents TOMAHAWK, a new fragrance for men and women that arrived in 2025. It sits within the woody spicy family, announced by notes of incense, pink pepper, bergamot, and pimento.

In the heart, sandalwood, vetiver, Egyptian papyrus, and rose come together, while the base draws on Akigalawood, Mystikal, vanilla, saffron, and suede. A fresh spicy start leads into a warm, leathery finish.

TOMAHAWK is the kind of scent that makes an impression without shouting. The opening combines incense and pink pepper for a smoky, slightly peppery effect, while bergamot offers an unlikely but welcome citrus lift. Ground allspice—known here as pimento—adds an aromatic complexity that sets the tone.

The heart is where the fragrance shows its softer side. Creamy sandalwood sits alongside earthy vetiver, and the Egyptian papyrus gives an airy, dry quality. The rose note is well integrated, providing a gentle floral nuance that rounds off the sharper edges of the spices.

Deep in the base, Akigalawood, Mystikal, vanilla, saffron, and suede create a sophisticated foundation. Vanilla brings a comforting sweetness, saffron a shimmering warmth, and suede a kind of leather-soft texture that lingers on the skin. The overall effect is grounded and elegant.

Described as woody, warm-spicy, leather, aromatic, and powdery, TOMAHAWK also carries hints of citrus and rose within its structure. These layers unfold at their own pace, allowing the wearer to discover new facets throughout the day.

Given a full five-star rating from its first review, TOMAHAWK appears to have found its audience already. Modern Armorist has crafted a solid fragrance that will likely appeal to fans of complex, gender-inclusive scents.

This fragrance is for anyone who enjoys a modern unisex scent with a woody, spicy character and a hint of leather. It’s particularly fitting for autumn and winter wear.

TOMAHAWK feels like a strong debut for Modern Armorist. It manages to be both distinctive and versatile, offering a clear point of view without alienating those new to niche fragrance.
