Black Religion The Fall of Icarus is an Extrait de Parfum 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 musk-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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

Built on woody, animalic and amber - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

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.
