WienerBlut Unheimlich is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Mark Buxton. Unheimlich opens with Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Allspice, Birch Tar, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Civet, and Castoreum. WienerBlut's Unheimlich carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.

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.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

Built on leather, animalic and smoky - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

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.
