Burning Ben is a divisive beast: some love its smoky, boozy depth, others find it too challenging or simply burnt. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but if you're after something truly unique and complex, this might be your winter signature.

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.

With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Burning Ben is best reserved for evenings and cooler weather. Its intense, smoky, and animalic character makes it less suitable for office or sports, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event.

About

Burning Ben opens with a boozy blast of rich cognac and dark, bitter coffee, quickly joined by an animalic leather and the pungent smokiness of birch tar. As it evolves, hints of dark chocolate, sweet plum, and hazelnut emerge, softening the edges but retaining an edgy, almost rubbery undertone. The dry down is a warm, resinous blend of incense, earthy patchouli, and lingering leathery smoke, with a touch of beeswax adding a subtle sweetness.
