BORNTOSTANDOUT Sin & Pleasure is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Amélie Bourgeois. Sin & Pleasure settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Almond, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli. 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.

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.
