Rien (2020)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Rien is a bold, uncompromising leather that feels like rebellion in a bottle. The 2020 reformulation keeps the smoky, animalic heart intact while smoothing out some of the rougher edges. It opens with aldehydes and pink pepper, then settles into a rich blend of leather, incense, and castoreum. This is a fragrance for those who want to stand out, not fit in.
