Obvious Frida's Thorns is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Julien Rasquinet. Frida's Thorns opens with Pear and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Chocolate and Rose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Vanilla. Obvious's Frida's Thorns carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a divisive one. A truly unusual gourmand that some adore for its unique warmth, while others find an 'off' note or an 'ugly' drydown. Not for everyone, but definitely worth a sniff to see which side you land on.

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:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for office wear if applied lightly, though some find it a bit too unusual. It excels on dates and casual outings where its unique warmth can shine. It might be a bit too gourmand for very formal settings, and definitely not for sport.

About

Frida's Thorns opens with a playful, juicy burst of raspberry and pear, quickly melding into a rich, complex heart. Here, a dark, unsweetened chocolate note intertwines with a jammy rose, creating an almost 'biscuity' or 'nutty' impression. The journey settles into a sophisticated base where earthy patchouli grounds a creamy vanilla, maintaining a warm, lingering depth that manages to be both edible and elegant.
