DedCool Fragrance 04 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Carina Chaz. Fragrance 04 opens with Pepper and Fig, settles into a heart of Bergamot, Lemon, Jasmine, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Incense. DedCool's Fragrance 04 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a divisive, peppery citrus and patchouli bomb - you'll either adore its edgy, witchy vibe or find it overwhelmingly masculine and reminiscent of dad's aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Composition

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
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate performance and polarising peppery opening make it less suitable for formal or office settings, where it might offend. However, its fresh yet earthy character and 'witchy' vibe make it a solid choice for casual wear and certain date nights.

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

Fragrance 04 kicks off with a sharp, invigorating blast of black pepper and bright citrus, primarily lemon and bergamot, that some find astringent. As it settles, a subtle greenness emerges, hinting at fig leaf rather than the fruit, before deepening into a woody, earthy drydown. Here, patchouli and creamy sandalwood take centre stage, underscored by a smoky whisper of incense that lingers on the skin.
