Rook Perfumes RSX: Origami is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Nadeem Crowe. RSX: Origami settles into a heart of Matcha, Smoke, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. Rook Perfumes's RSX: Origami carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

RSX: Origami is a divisive scent experience - unique, challenging, and not for everyone. If you crave something truly avant-garde, this might just be your cup of smoky, woody tea. It's a bold sensory journey that demands attention.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its potent, smoky character and strong projection make it less suitable for an office environment. However, its unique and intriguing nature could make it a conversation starter for a casual outing or an unusual date night. It's too heavy and attention-grabbing for formal events or sport.

About

Imagine stepping into a secluded Japanese tea house, only it's after a fire and you're surrounded by smouldering cedar and rich, earthy matcha. This scent is an intense woody-smoky hit right from the off, softened by hints of jasmine and a distinct powdery undertone. A clean musk anchors the whole affair, preventing it from spiralling into pure chaos. It's bitter, herbal, and deeply textural, like a fine charcoal dust.
