Our verdict on Lacrima: Statement

This one's a proper Gothic drama in a bottle, polarising opinion with its intense, churchy incense. It's either an evocative, dark masterpiece or... well, just a bit much. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or those who prefer something mainstream.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Given its strong, often challenging opening and thematic depth, Lacrima isn't suited for daily office wear or casual settings, where it might overwhelm. It fares better in formal or date scenarios where its unique character can be appreciated, particularly for evening events in cooler weather, as its moderate projection requires a considered application.

About

Lacrima opens with a sharp, almost animalic bite from castoreum and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a profound, smoky incense. Elemi and benzoin lend a resinous depth, evoking ancient cathedrals and forgotten rituals. As it settles, a woody, mossy warmth emerges from oakmoss and rosewood, creating a complex, melancholic, and deeply aromatic experience.
