Our verdict on Unheimlich: Statement

Unheimlich is a properly unsettling fragrance; a dark, challenging leather that some will find intoxicating and others simply can't tolerate. It's divisive, intriguing, and definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you dare to try it, it will certainly get people talking.

Given its strong animalic and leather accords, plus its 'head-turner' quality, Unheimlich is far too bold for the office or a casual daytime outing. It shines best in evening affairs or more formal settings where its challenging and intriguing nature can be appreciated without overwhelming the space.

About

It begins with an intriguing push-and-pull between rich ambergris and civet, immediately creating an animalic, almost primal atmosphere. Warm spices like cardamom and cumin emerge, adding depth, before the true heart of the scent reveals itself: a potent, wild leather. Hints of birch tar and cacao weave through, grounding the composition with a smoky, earthy texture, while iris and lavender provide a fleeting, sophisticated counterpoint to its raw sensuality and leave an unforgettable, almost bizarre trail.
