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.

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.
