About Villain
Villain by Chris Collins: A Smoky Woody Oriental with Attitude
Chris Collins has introduced Villain, a new woody oriental fragrance designed for both men and women. The perfume launches in 2026 and brings a distinctly bold, unisex presence to the house's portfolio.
Its composition centres on galbanum, myrrh, smoke, akigalawood, tobacco, and thyme. The result is a meeting of green sharpness, balsamic warmth, and smouldering depth.
Villain makes an immediate impression with a contrast between bitter galbanum and herbal thyme, both wrapped in a layer of smoke. The aromatic and green accords give the opening a crisp, almost defiant edge.
Myrrh and akigalawood sit at the heart, lending a resinous and woody texture. Tobacco adds a dry, subtly sweet warmth that keeps the composition grounded and inviting.
An oud accord in the base brings out the darker side of the fragrance, with amber and balsamic touches smoothing the journey. The drydown is slow, intimate, and surprisingly versatile.
Although the brand has not published a full fragrance pyramid, the declared notes are enough to reveal a coherent and modern structure. Villain feels like a contemporary take on the woody oriental genre, with no interest in playing it safe.
Initial feedback has been positive, with an average rating of 4.43 out of 5 from 23 ratings. Reviewers highlight its longevity, sillage, and refusal to follow conventional perfume trends.
Villain will appeal to anyone who likes unisex fragrances with a strong identity, particularly fans of smoky woods, resins, tobacco, and dark balsamic accords. It is also a good choice for those seeking a complex scent that evolves throughout the day.
Villain is a confident addition to the Chris Collins line: a smoky, green, and warm woody oriental that rewards those who appreciate perfumes with a bit of edge.
