BeauFort Acrasia ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 31 October 2022 4 Comments

Niche line BeauFort London has launched Acrasia, a new oriental gourmand fragrance.

"A rose is a rose is not a rose".
Things are not always as they appear at first sight.

Character: Haunting, powerful, seductive.
Inspiration: An epic, allegorical poem from the 16th century;* a sorceress; a mythical forest.

Acrasia was developed by perfumer Julie Dunkley. The notes include lemon, wine, bergamot, cinnamon, incense, rose, geranium, jasmine, amber, vanilla, musk, patchouli, vetiver and cedar.

BeauFort London Acrasia is available now at Essenza Nobile in Germany, in 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

(via essenza-nobile.de)

*See The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser at Wikipedia, or Acrasia: The Antagonist Of Book 2 In The Faerie Queene at MythBank.

    Where did you get the labels Oriental and Gourmand from? Just from the notes? I can’t see any such category on their website or Instagram.
