Sin & Pleasure

by Amélie Bourgeois

BORNTOSTANDOUT Sin & Pleasure is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Amélie Bourgeois. Sin & Pleasure settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Patchouli, Almond, and Sandalwood. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Sin & Pleasure carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Sin & Pleasure is a boozy, gourmand powerhouse that's wildly divisive. Some find it a masterpiece of hedonism, while others are left with a clinical, synthetic impression. Definitely a fragrance that wears differently on everyone, so a full wear test is essential.

Its immense longevity and powerful projection make it too overwhelming for an office setting. However, its bold, sensual character is perfectly suited for dates and formal evening events, with some reviewers enjoying it as a signature scent for casual wear despite its intensity.

About

This one opens with a potent, almost unhinged dark rum accord, weaving drunkenly into sweet caramel and creamy vanilla. As it settles, a rich, unapologetic blend of woody notes, earthy patchouli, and animalic oud emerge, backed by soft almond and ylang-ylang florals. The drydown introduces a subtle leather, oakmoss, and sandalwood, transforming a boozy dessert into something dark, complex, and intriguing.
