Gotham

Introducing Gotham, a sophisticated and enigmatic fragrance from the exclusive Batman Series, designed to capture the essence of the city that never sleeps—shadowy, complex, and undeniably magnetic. Gotham is an olfactory homage to the dichotomies of darkness and light, chaos and order, danger and heroism that define the iconic city. Crafted with some of the most luxurious and rare ingredients from around the world, this scent is a profound narrative in perfume form, designed for those who command the night with silent authority.

At the core of Gotham lies the daring inclusion of muskrat, a choice that pays tribute to the raw, untamed energy of the urban wilderness. This rare essence adds a deeply animalic yet subtly salty note, mirroring the unpredictable nature of Gotham City itself. The muskrat's natural musk is enriched with a veil of white ambergris, lending the fragrance an air of mystery with its warm, marine complexity.

The journey into the night begins with a vibrant burst of citrus from bergamot and yuzu, cutting through the darkness like the first lights of Gotham’s skyline. These bright, sparkling notes are quickly deepened by the exotic allure of saffron. The leathery, dark and profound scent sets a foundation that is both commanding and seductive.

Middle notes of saffron and black pepper introduce a spicy heartbeat to this urban concoction, evoking the city's ever-pulsing energy. Threads of rosewood and iris unfold within this spicy matrix, their woody and floral nuances painting the subtler luxuries of Gotham, from its hidden gardens to its ornate, gothic architecture. The addition of blue lotus and Turkish rose adds a layer of aquatic and floral sophistication, suggesting the rare beauty and hidden depth one can find in the city’s chaos.

Violet leaf and clary sage bring a crisp, green freshness to the heart, a nod to Gotham's fleeting moments of clarity amid the shadows. These are complemented by the earthiness of vetiver and oakwood, grounding the fragrance with an enduring sense of strength and resilience. Lavender and iris butter enhance the composition with their refined, powdery softness, offering a brief respite from the city’s relentless intensity.

As "Gotham" settles on the skin, the base notes emerge with a profound depth. French vanilla and labdanum mingle to create a rich, resinous backdrop, enveloped in the mystical warmth of myrrh. Port oxford, a woodsy note, along with jade wood, adds an architectural solidity to the base, anchoring the lighter notes in a bed of timeless elegance. The rare allure of Rayong Oud adds a sharp and intense scent, together with the creamy richness from the sandalwood.

Finally, the fragrance is subtly enhanced with hints of ylang ylang and coriander seed, which inject a final whisper of exotic spice and floral sweetness, mirroring the complex layers of Gotham’s own spirit. Each ingredient in Gotham has been carefully selected to represent the myriad aspects of its namesake city, from its dark, hidden alleys to its glittering, skyscraper-topped horizons.
