Strangers Parfumerie Sombre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Prin Lomros. Strangers Parfumerie's Sombre carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is not a perfume; it's a dare. Sombre is a legendary shock-art scent, infamous for its photorealistic portrayal of bodily fluids and decay. It's a divisive, confrontational experience designed to repel, making Secretions Magnifiques seem like a gentle stroll in the park.

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.

Best Occasions

This fragrance is universally described as repulsive and unwearable in public. Its strong, offensive accords of vomit, faeces, and decay make it unsuitable for any social setting, including casual wear, and would likely cause extreme discomfort to anyone in proximity.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Sombre opens with an immediate, stomach-churning assault of vomit and pus, layered with a distinct barnyard fecal note. This vile cocktail is underpinned by a surprising fizz of sparkling wine, creating a bizarre contrast. As the initial shock subsides, indolic white florals like jasmine and tuberose attempt to emerge, hinting at something beautiful beneath the filth, but they're constantly fighting against the pervasive, unsettling stench of decay and unwashed bodily secretions. It's a truly challenging, olfactory endurance test.
