Freddy

Who knew Fir, Pear, Apples, and Clove would go so good together? From the initial spritz you are hit with a semi sweet deep fir with the most delicious apple pie twist. Created as a tribute to the eerie, dream-warping presence of Freddy Krueger, this extrait blends the dark with the sweet, the sharp with the soft, and the imagined with the real. Freddy opens with a crisp pear and freshly sliced apple bright and juicy! But then comes the twist. A crackling burst of clove cuts through the sweetness bringing with it warmth! Then, unexpectedly, fir needle wraps around the composition with its forest fresh, earthy, resinous edge. At the base of every 15ml bottle lies something super rare: 1.3 grams of wild Aceh Oud, this is a buried Oud harvested from the humid forests of Northern Sumatra. This oud isn’t animalic or medicinal. It’s earthy, slightly mossy, with a soft dark leather tone.

Hints of Japanese yuzu and bergamot mint add flashes of energy in the opening, like brief sparks before the smoke rises. You catch them for a second, fresh, tart, and fleeting. Then frangipani, honeysuckle, and magnolia begin to bloom underneath. They don’t turn the scent floral; they just soften the edges, giving it warmth and breath.

Then comes the apple pie accord, and this is where Freddy changes. It doesn’t smell like dessert, not exactly, but like the warmth of something cooked and spiced. The pear slips in here too, clean and bright, cutting through the richness. The clove binds it all together dry, aromatic, and just enough to keep the sweetness in line. That tension between soft and sharp, warmth and cool air, is what gives Freddy its pull.

At the core of the fragrance sits wild Aceh Oud, 1.3 grams in every 15ml bottle not a hint or a trace, but a real presence. It gives Freddy its shape and soul. The oud from Aceh isn’t loud or animalic; it’s dark in a smooth way, with a earthy touch and natural sweetness that lingers like a sap. It hums beneath the other notes, slowly revealing itself as the perfume settles.

The base layers deepen with Sri Lankan sandalwood and white ambergris, both lending balance and softness. The sandalwood is milky and round, while the ambergris brings light and air, making the darker notes glow instead of weigh down. Together, they hold the fir and clove in suspension.

There’s a strange beauty in the middle where cistus rock, labdanum dark, and oakmoss meet. They give the perfume its gravity, earthy, resinous, quietly leathery. That’s where the Aceh oud starts to glow, merging with pinon amber and wood apple to form a kind of shadowed sweetness. Coriander seed adds a faint spice, fresher than the clove, more abstract, but it gives texture to the blend.

As Freddy dries down, the fir comes back in layers, fir needle, fir balsam, pine absolute, all slightly different shades of green. They fade in and out, blending with the ambergris and oud until what’s left on the skin is dark, clean, and alive.
