Fragrance World Kohl is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Kohl opens with Vinyl, Pepper, Ink, and Rum, settles into a heart of Ebony, Peony, Elemi, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Frankincense. Fragrance World's Kohl carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Kohl is a dark, complex beast with a unique inky, vinyl heart. It's not for everyone, but if you're after something truly different and evocative, this might be your new obsession.

Scent Profile

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

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Its bold, long-lasting nature and rich, dark accords make it unsuitable for office wear or sport. However, its sophisticated and sensual character is perfect for unique date nights or making a statement at formal events.

About

Kohl dives deep with an unusual opening of sharp pepper, intoxicating rum, and a distinctive vinyl-ink accord. As it settles, a floral hint of peony and the rich darkness of ebony emerge, balanced by an aromatic elemi. The long dry-down is dominated by a profound frankincense, leaving a lingering, woody-balsamic trail that’s both ancient and modern.
