Profundum Martyr is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Dominik Schneider. Martyr opens with Pebbles and Pepper, settles into a heart of Smoke, Leather, Leather, and Pine, and dries down to a base of Plant Juice, Woody Notes, Resins, and Patchouli. Profundum's Martyr carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper challenge - a divisive, art-house creation that screams 'unhinged' to some and 'pure genius' to others. If you're into dark, smoky, and genuinely abstract scents, you'll likely worship it. For the rest of you, sample first.

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.

Martyr's intense smoky and leathery accords, coupled with its strong initial presence, make it unsuitable for office and formal settings. Its unique and challenging character is better suited for casual wear or niche date nights where you want to make a statement.

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

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

Martyr plunges you headfirst into a smouldering, post-apocalyptic landscape. The opening hits with sharp mineral and pepper, soon giving way to an intense blast of black leather and burning wood. Imagine a charred pine forest after a fire, with metallic tinges and pungent smoke clinging to everything. The drydown settles into the deep earthiness of patchouli and oakmoss, softened by rich, dark resins and a hint of green sap, a rebellious nod to nature slowly reclaiming the devastation.
