This isn't just a scent; it's a defiant roar wrapped in leather and rum. Rhinoceros is a boudacious beast - polarising, demanding, and utterly unforgettable. If you want to make an entrance, not just another impression, this is your weapon.

About

Opening with a bold, boozy hit of rum and aromatic pine, Rhinoceros immediately announces its presence. Lavender and sage add a sophisticated, almost medicinal edge, quickly giving way to a heart of rugged leather and smoky oud. The dry down mellows slightly into a rich, earthy blend of vetiver, amber, and sandalwood, maintaining its assertive, untamed character from start to finish. It's a leather-forward fragrance with complex woody and aromatic depth.
