Hormone Paris This is Not Kisspeptin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Shadi Samra. This is Not Kisspeptin opens with Cardamom and Labdanum, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Leather, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Hormone Paris's This is Not Kisspeptin carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive and bold, Hormone Paris's 'This is Not Kisspeptin' is a scent that some will adore for its warm, leathery depths, while others might find it a bit too much, lacking the finesse of its inspirations. Not a safe blind buy.

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:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage mean it can be a bit much for an office, but it shines on dates and casual outings where its sensual, warm character can be appreciated. It's too heavy for sport and a bit too 'modern bold' for most formal events.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a warm, spicy hit of cardamom and the resinous sweetness of labdanum, 'This is Not Kisspeptin' quickly deepens into a rich heart. Here, an earthy cypriol oil mingles with the sophisticated rawness of leather and a prominent, slightly animalic oud. The drydown settles into a comforting, musky embrace, softened by the creamy, gourmand nuances of vanilla and tonka bean, creating a long-lasting, alluring trail.
