Gritti Kill The Lights is a fragrance launched in 2023, created by Luca Gritti. Kill The Lights opens with Davana, Juniper, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Leather, Pink Pepper, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Mastic, Guaiac Wood, and Birch Tar. Gritti's Kill The Lights carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Kill The Lights is a divisive, aggressive leather bomb - you'll either find its animalic, smoky depths intoxicating or utterly repelling. It's not for the faint-hearted, offering a unique, raw experience that stands apart from typical leather scents.

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.

Its strong, raw leather and smoky accords make it far too intense for office wear. However, its bold and unique character, combined with reported longevity and performance, makes it an excellent choice for dates or evening events where you want to make a statement, even for formal occasions if you dare to be different.

About

This one kicks off with a punchy, green blast of juniper and artemisia, sharply herbal and almost absinthe-like. Quickly, it plunges into a raw, animalic leather heart, roughened by hay and a flicker of pink pepper. The drydown settles into the deep, dark resins of guaiac wood, mastic, and birch tar, leaving a bitter, smoky trail. It’s an untamed, earthy scent that evokes wild landscapes and rebellious spirit.
