Perfumer

Terror & Magnificence by Beaufort London is a complex fragrance inspired by Georgian architect Nicholas Hawksmoor. It combines elements of ancient Egyptian mysticism with Gothic architectural atmosphere, featuring church incense, candle wax, papyrus, and a distinctive wet stone accord. Created by perfumer Pia Long in 2019, it represents the dark and mysterious elements of Hawksmoor's architectural legacy.

Scent Description

A powerful smoky opening of birch tar and black pepper leads into a complex heart of ancient Egyptian Kyphi incense, frankincense, and papyrus. The base reveals deep notes of Haitian vetiver, myrrh, and a unique stone accord, supported by warm benzoin and labdanum. The overall effect is dark, resinous, and ceremonial.

Sacred Smoke: A Gothic Cathedral in a Bottle
Terror & Magnificence divides the fragrance community with its bold interpretation of gothic architecture through scent. This masterful composition opens with intense birch tar smoke, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of ancient stone churches and burning incense. The interplay of frankincense, kyphi, and myrrh adds a sacred dimension, while vetiver and benzoin provide a dark, grounding base. While praised for its artistic vision and exceptional longevity, some find its powerful smoky character overwhelming. This is not an everyday scent, but rather a transformative olfactory experience best suited for cold evenings and those who dare to embrace its dark magnificence.
