About

Unlit Defiant is Perfume Parlour's budget take on John Varvatos - Dark Rebel. It opens with Clary Sage, Cardamom, Artemisia, leads into a heart of Pepper, Styrax, Fir Resin, and dries down to Juniper, Woody Notes, Akigalawood. The overall character is warm spicy with aromatic and sweet facets. It is a lighter, more linear interpretation than the original - less of the expensive nuance, but the headline accord comes through clearly for casual everyday wear.
