Tonnerre

Tonnerre divides the fragrance community like a cannonball through wooden planks - it's either a masterpiece of atmospheric storytelling or an overwhelming assault on the senses. This daring creation from Beaufort London captures the chaos of naval warfare through an intense symphony of gunpowder, smoke, and metallic notes. The opening is notoriously aggressive, with an explosive burst of gunpowder and smoke that can be challenging for many. As the battle rages on, citrus notes of lime and bergamot provide brief moments of clarity, while salty marine accords and woody undertones paint a vivid picture of burning ships at sea. While praised for its artistic vision and uniqueness, many note that the base notes fade too quickly, leaving only whispers of the initial drama.
