Dark Tales Knight of Darkness is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Arina P. Franzén. Knight of Darkness opens with Neroli, Birch, Rosemary, and Basil, settles into a heart of Woody, Guaiac Wood, Geranium, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Oak, Linen, and Musk. Dark Tales's Knight of Darkness carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a wild card. With such a bold blend of notes, you'll either be desperate to get it up your nose or running for the hills. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but could be a captivating signature scent.

About

Bold and complex, Knight of Darkness opens with a boozy splash of rum and bright neroli, quickly spiced up with aromatic rosemary and basil. The heart is a deep dive into woody territory, with guaiac wood and black spruce creating a rich, earthy core, softened by myrrh and tolu balsam. The drydown is an epic journey through oak and cypriol, grounded by a warm musk, vetiver, and smoky tobacco, with hints of vanilla and ambergris adding a luxurious depth. It's an imposing, multi-layered scent.
