  A complex and difficult fragrance to wear. The first 30 minutes are aggressive, with lots of smoke, opium, and incense, but then it becomes something dark, sweet, and original. At first, it clashes, but it improves with time and for me it’s a masterpiece. Scent: 5 at the start, 9 afterwards. Longevity: 9. Originality: 10. Sillage: 7. Value for money: 8. Versatility: 4. Overall: 9.

  This DAMIER is a disaster, nowhere near RAKE & RUIN. I don’t understand how they want to sell this as a perfume; it smells like German BRÜHWURST sausage and is repulsive. Save yourself the trouble, or if you like torturing yourself with unbearable scents, buy it, but this borders on disgusting. What a pity they hype this house of pseudo-perfumes.

  Do you want people to stay away from you? You want a twenty-metre aura all to yourself, eh… go hard on the spray! It smells like Surströmming, a bit of alcoholic vomit (remember your youthful binges holding back the colleague who was about to throw up), a burst frankfurter from those fairs with frozen fries, and that tobacco smoke that lingers on clothes after a night out. All very interesting. 130 euros for 50ml. I’d ask for 250, that’s less bullshit. No one will smell like you; you’ll be special, the only one. Made in England. Niche. Very niche. Super niche. What more could you ask for?

  The boldest and most different from the house. Inspired by the provisions on English ships in India for the sailors: opium is the star, with whisky, tobacco, aggressive tea, and a smoky, spiced base reminiscent of meat marinated in a cellar. It’s dark, narcotic, dirty, and undeniably sexual. It requires personality and won’t appeal to everyone; it’s far from mainstream. Those who smell it, accustomed to designer perfumes designed to please all, will probably reject this. All perfumes from this house tell a story; it may not be for you, but it says something with intention; they are works of art. Do not wear it in summer; it’s for the coldest winter nights. In the office, you must be the boss, otherwise, discard it. It has its context and correct use. The performance is spectacular, like all its siblings. A marvel, but for a select few.

  The boldest and most different from the house. Inspired by the provisions on English ships in India for the sailors: opium is the star, with whisky, tobacco, hard tea, and a smoky, spiced touch reminiscent of meat marinated in a cellar. It’s dark, narcotic, dirty, and sexual. It requires personality and won’t please many; it’s far from mainstream. It tells a story and has intention; they are works of art for a select few. Nothing for summer, only cold winter and nights. In the office, you must be the boss or discard it. Performance is spectacular, a marvel yes, but for few.

  It’s not as horrible or extreme as people say. The first 30 minutes smell like marinated meat, inspired according to Rake and Ruin by a port tavern, although to me it sounds more like Vi et Armis. Once the initial shock passes, it transforms into burnt aromatic herbs, brilliant. Don’t let the opening put you off. All Beaufort perfumes have marked phases, inspired by naval battles, and after the initial explosion they evolve into something much more wearable.

  It’s neither as bad nor as extreme as people say. The first half-hour does smell like marinated meat, just as the creators of Rake and Ruin confirm. They describe it as a port tavern, but to me it sounds more like Vi et Armis. Once you get past that initial shock which turns many off, it shifts to burnt aromatic herbs, and it’s brilliant. Don’t let the opening put you off. All Beaufort perfumes have very distinct phases; after an explosive start (inspired by naval battles), they evolve into something much more wearable.
