Our verdict on Grimoire: Acquired

Grimoire is a divisive beast: a love-it-or-hate-it scent that marries medieval imagery with a modern, unapologetic cumin note. If you're brave enough to venture beyond the initial skank, you'll find a captivating, earthy incense experience.

Its potent projection and unique, challenging profile, particularly the cumin, make it unsuitable for office wear. While some reviewers wear it casually, its strong character and introspective mood are better suited for special evenings, cooler weather, or solo enjoyment.

About

Grimoire opens with a potent blast of bergamot, basil, and an almost shocking cumin, quickly softened by a dry, aromatic lavender. As it settles, the scent transforms into a warm, musky embrace of cedar, heady frankincense, and earthy patchouli, all anchored by a lingering, moss-dusted amber. Imagine an ancient, forgotten library filled with alchemical secrets, where resinous smoke clings to old parchment and dried herbs.
