Vertus 2021 EDP
Chaos
Vertus Chaos is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Chaos opens with Sea Water and Lemon, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Oakmoss, and Ambergris. Vertus's Chaos carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.
Chaos is wildly divisive, lauded as a 'beast mode' aquatic by some and reviled by others for its 'eggy' or 'fishy' marine notes. Definitely not a safe blind buy, this is a love-it-or-hate-it scent with zero middle ground.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its nuclear performance and strong marine accords make it unsuitable for most office settings, as it projects aggressively. Chaos works best in casual, outdoor environments or clubbing, where its 'beast mode' projection isn't overbearing. It's too extreme for formal events or intimate dates.
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.

- Citral
- 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
