Olfiction Petrolhead is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Petrolhead opens with Sichuan Pepper and Ginger, settles into a heart of Leather, Lavender, and Ambroxan, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Castoreum. Olfiction's Petrolhead carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper petrol-head's fantasy, a head-turning, divisive shocker that absolutely screams 'main character energy'. Not for the faint-hearted, but if you want to make a statement, this is your ride.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Best For:
Casual

Date

Its bold, industrial accords aren't exactly office-friendly. Best saved for casual outings or adventurous dates where you want to elicit a strong reaction, rather than blend into the background.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

Explosive from the get-go, Petrolhead smacks you with a hyper-realistic blast of black rubber and hot asphalt, spiced up by a jolt of Sichuan pepper and ginger. This raw, industrial opening mellows into a heart of worn leather and cool lavender, underpinned by a smooth, modern amber. The dry down is deep and earthy, with rich patchouli, damp oakmoss, and a dirty hint of castoreum, creating a truly animalic and rugged finish.
