Details on BeauFort London Vi et Armis

Vi et Armis by Beaufort London is a challenging and provocative fragrance that celebrates smoked ingredients. Created in 2015, it's an intense blend of lapsang souchong tea, heavily peated whisky, dark tobaccos, spices, and opium. The fragrance has been described as 'chaos in a bottle' and 'an alchemist's Christmas party', featuring heavily overdosed ingredients that create a singular and narcotic experience.

How does BeauFort London Vi et Armis smell?

Opens with intense black pepper and smoky lapsang souchong tea, followed by a complex heart of frankincense, whisky, and opium. The base reveals rich birch tar, tobacco, and a warm blend of woods and resins. The overall impression is deeply smoky, spicy, and intense, with a maritime undertone reminiscent of old sailing vessels.

Powerful, smoky and far too intense for me

This is one of the strongest and most challenging fragrances I have tried. On my skin, I mainly get smoke, charcoal and leather, with something that reminds me of old gasoline or burnt fuel. There is also a dark spicy facet that almost gives me a gunpowder-like impression. I can appreciate the concept and it definitely has a strong personality, but for me it is simply too aggressive and overwhelming. The smoky and leathery facets dominate so much that I find it difficult to enjoy, and at times it was almost nauseating. Very distinctive and very niche, but definitely not something I would want to wear.

Certainly not for me

I can appreciate this fragrance for what it is but this is certainly one i will never wear again. I get a very strong note of rotting fish ans licorice. Wear this is you dont want anyone sitting next to you!

Opium

It's strong. The opening is quite rich and extreme. Then it moves to the realistic opium scent, which seems to be eternal. A good choice for those, who are interested how the 19th century Paris salon smelled
