Pictura Fragrans Vigil is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2026, created by DL Jenkins. Vigil opens with Matcha, Cotton Flower, Barley, and Olive, settles into a heart of Oak, Cream, Truffle, and Vanilla Caviar, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Earthy, and Mysore Sandalwood. Pictura Fragrans's Vigil carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Vigil is a bizarre, earthy-sweet skin scent that promises a fairytale but delivers something closer to a very gentle, green dream. It’s undeniably unique, if a bit ephemeral.

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.

Its subtle nature and delicate sillage make it suitable for office wear where strong scents are a no-go. The unusual savoury-sweet profile isn't universally appealing for formal events, but its understated presence works for casual settings, if you're feeling a bit adventurous.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood oil Santalum Album Oil from Mysore Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opens with an unusual blend of green matcha and cotton flower, softened by chamomile and a quirky hint of artichoke. The heart dives into even stranger territory with creamy truffle and vanilla caviar, alongside a surprisingly subtle cheese note and an elegant whisper of jasmine. The base settles into a musky, earthy embrace of oak, Mysore sandalwood, and mushroom, creating a soft, natural, and utterly distinctive aroma.
