Rien (2013)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Rien is a bold, uncompromising leather chypre that feels like rebellion in a bottle. It opens with a sharp blast of aldehydes and cumin, then settles into a smoky, animalic leather heart. The base is a dark, resinous blend of patchouli and castoreum. This is not a polite fragrance; it's for those who want to make a statement.
