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.

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

Worth trying

The longevity and sillage are seriously potent, firmly establishing this as my current personal favorite. I'm particularly drawn to the bitter tea notes and the sharp spices; it has a strength and character that I really appreciate. That medical opium smell and tea undertones... mmm
