Black Religion The Fall of Icarus is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Máté Benicsák. The Fall of Icarus opens with Rose, Cinnamon, and Peach, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Tobacco, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Oud, Vanilla, Castoreum, and Opoponax. Black Religion's The Fall of Icarus carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive beast, this one. It's a bold, full-throated roar of an Oud fragrance that some will adore for its raw intensity, but it's far too challenging for the faint of heart. Not a blind buy, unless you fancy smelling like a rebellious angel.

Its potent woody-animalic profile and strong projection make it unsuitable for an office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. Date nights and formal events are more appropriate, especially in cooler weather, where its bold character can make a statement without overwhelming.

About

The Fall of Icarus opens with a fleeting sweetness of peach and rose, quickly subsumed by a smoky, spicy cinnamon. Dark tobacco and deep, resinous frankincense soon emerge, painting a brooding heart before the true monster awakens. Oud, rich and animalic, is underscored by an almost leathery castoreum and sticky opoponax, with a comforting vanilla attempting to soften its formidable edges. This is a scent about defiance, not delicacy.
