Carpenter Abuse of Power (Alexandria) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026. Abuse of Power (Alexandria) opens with Heliotrope and Coconut, settles into a heart of Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk. Carpenter's Abuse of Power (Alexandria) carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent - half the room will want to eat you, the other half will think you've bathed in baby powder. It's an intense vanilla bomb with a powdery musk finish that demands attention and probably a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it reaction.

The strong vanilla and musky accords, alongside a reputation for potent sillage, make this a less-than-ideal choice for the office, where subtlety is often key. It shines on dates and casual outings where its warm and inviting nature can be appreciated without overwhelming a large room.

About

Imagine a cloud of sweet, powdery heliotrope and creamy coconut, which quickly melts into a rich, almost edible vanilla heart. The dry down is a soft, enveloping musk, giving it a comforting yet undeniably potent presence. It's a sweet, floral, and deeply musky experience, more a velvety caress than a light whisper.
