Details

Inspired by the works of satirist William Hogarth, Rake & Ruin by Beaufort London is a debauched fragrance that captures the essence of gin-soaked 18th century London. Created by perfumer Julie Dunkley in 2018, this bold composition combines botanical gin ingredients with dark woods, smoke, and animalic notes.

Scent Description

A complex blend dominated by smoky accords throughout all stages, featuring realistic gin notes with juniper and angelica. The composition evolves from initial cigarette ash and gin towards green, pine-like forest notes, complemented by leather, costus, and castoreum. The base reveals dry woods, musk, and ambergris notes, creating a narrative of debauchery and wilderness.

Gin & Ashes: London's Dark Poetry
Rake & Ruin emerges as a masterful olfactory narrative of 18th century London's darker side, earning both admiration and respect from the fragrance community for its unapologetically bold character. This complex composition weaves together gin-soaked juniper, intense smoke, and weathered leather, creating an atmospheric journey through time. The fragrance opens with a powerful burst of alcoholic juniper and citrus, quickly enveloped by persistent smoke that dominates throughout. While some find this overwhelming, enthusiasts praise its authentic recreation of historical atmospheres and its ability to transport the wearer to smoky taverns and rain-soaked wooden structures. Best suited for cold weather and evening wear, this is a fragrance that demands attention and refuses to compromise its artistic vision.
