Beaufort London Coeur De Noir EDP 50ml

FRAGRANCE FAMILY

The Heart of Darkness. Ink, Rum, old Leather book binding. In his childhood, Leo Crabtree read Joseph Conrad's The Heart of Darkness, of sailors telling their stories as they traveled from London to Africa. This perfume is inspired by the idea that how we tell each story is how we communicate our history - through ink, through paper, in leather bound books, through tattoos on our body - and almost always over drinks. Coeur de Noir considers the relationship between the sea and the art that it has inspired.

Pen and ink drawings of yachts, old libraries of nautical fiction and tattoos are all referenced here in this warm, dark fragrance. Accords of Black Ink dominate; west Indian Spiced Rum; papers lost and found; the familiar dry accords of Leather bound books balanced with warm enigmatic notes of Vanilla Pipe Tobacco. All finely based around a dark heart of Birch Tar and Labdanum. the Leather and the Ink shine through in this perfume, just like the most incredible and alluring book always does.

NOTES
Top: Rum, Ginger, Ink

ABOUT THE BRAND
Beaufort London is an incredibly unique English perfume house created by musician and writer Leo Crabtree. Inspired by Crabtree's lifelong love of fragrance mixed with his fascination with the darker elements of British history, Beaufort London's first collection of intense, and bold perfumes is titled "Come Hell or High Water". Coming from a family history of seamen, Crabtree also references the sea throughout this collection. "The sea, its traditions, superstitions and way of life are ingrained in me. The brand's name Beaufort London (derived from the 1805 wind force scale conjured up by Naval Officer Sir Francis Beaufort) represents a kind of framework within which we can understand ourselves. The wind in consistent, enduring, but ultimately changeable and potentially destructive."
