Maqueda Perfume V.I.T.R.I.O.L is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. V.I.T.R.I.O.L opens with Sandalwood, Violet Leaf, and Lily Of The Valley, settles into a heart of Leather, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Civet, and dries down to a base of Red Currant, Redcurrant Leaf, Rose, and Strawberry. Maqueda Perfume's V.I.T.R.I.O.L carries an Acquired verdict, an animalic-led wear.

This one is pure divisive artistry you'll either adore as an 'extrait de dystopia' or recoil from as 'burnt tire' - a high-concept scrubber that pushes boundaries way too far for some, while captivating others with its sheer audacity.

Built on animalic, musky and woody - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Given its strong, challenging animalic and rubber accords, V.I.T.R.I.O.L is entirely unsuitable for office or formal wear, as it's likely to offend. Its unconventional nature might find a niche in very specific casual or artistic date scenarios where bold self-expression is valued, but it's not a crowd-pleaser.

About

V.I.T.R.I.O.L opens with a challenging mix of earthy sandalwood and a peculiar, bruised greenness from violet leaf, juxtaposed with the subtle sweetness of lily of the valley. The heart plunges into a grimy, industrial landscape of synthetic notes, prominent rubber, and a deeply animalic leather, with a hint of civet and dark, indolic patchouli hinting at decay. A strange, almost out of place pear offers a fleeting, uneasy sweetness amidst the grit. The base attempts to soften the edges with red currant and its tart leaf, a whisper of rose and strawberry, but the dominant rubber and animalic undertones persist, leaving a lingering impression of something both organic and utterly artificial.
