About

Terrible Teddy Eau de Parfum opens with a smoky veil of frankincense, immediately signaling its mysterious intent. The heart is a supple, dark leather that envelops and intrigues, never harsh or abrasive, but smooth and refined. Ambroxan and earthy vetiver in the base provide a mineral, woody depth, giving the fragrance a persistent yet elegant trail. The overall effect is smoky, resinous, and leathery, with a modern, mineral touch that feels both classic and contemporary - perfect for cooler evenings and moments that call for intrigue.
