Slumberhouse Ore is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009, created by Josh Lobb. Ore settles into a heart of Oak, Whisky, Cacao Pod, and Guaiac Wood. Slumberhouse's Ore carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a sophisticated, boozy dark chocolate dream, a proper grown-up gourmand. Others just get cheap cocoa powder and dusty old junk. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample first.

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.

Casual

With its nuclear projection and longevity, Ore isn't suitable for office wear where it could be overwhelming. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its dark, sophisticated profile, though some find it a unique choice for casual settings when applied sparingly.

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

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

Ore opens with a punch of rich, raw cacao, immediately tempered by the dry, aged whisper of oak and a warming splash of whisky. As it settles, the scent deepens into a woody embrace of guaiac and mahogany, softened by the resinous sweetness of Peru balsam and a hint of vanilla. It's a dark, complex brew, reminiscent of an old library filled with forgotten leather-bound books and a mug of artisanal hot chocolate.
