BeauFort London The Grudge is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Euan McCall. The Grudge opens with Frankincense, Copal, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Seaweed, Tea, and Calamus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, Oakmoss, and Tobacco. BeauFort London's The Grudge carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive beast of a perfume that screams 'niche' from the rooftops. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, pulling you into a murky, marine world unlike anything else. Not a crowd-pleaser, but a masterpiece for the adventurous few.

About

Imagine a tempestuous shoreline, where the bitter tang of wormwood and frankincense mingle with the unsettling realism of damp seaweed and salty ambergris. It shifts from an initial blast of oceanic brine and resinous woods to a deeper, more earthy base of tobacco, oud, and a persistent mossy dampness, as if exploring a haunted sea cave. Hints of warm spice and animalic depth ground its raw, untamed character.
