Gunpowder

Hermès

The opening is bright citrus tempered by something darker—orange peel curling at the edges, grapefruit rind with its bitter undertow.

Viktor & Rolf

The gunpowder note arrives as a soft smoky veil rather than a literal explosive—it tempers the bergamot and gives the opening an unexpected grey-green duskiness.

Creed

Himalaya opens with a sharp citrus burst—grapefruit and bergamot meeting pink pepper in a clean, almost austere introduction.

Comme Des Garçons

The opening is peculiar and arresting: a dry, papery hazelnut accord that smells more botanical than edible, like the shell rather than the nut itself.

L'Artisan Parfumeur

Amour Nocturne opens with a thick, honeyed darkness—narcotic tuberose wrapped in cacao and sweet benzoin resin.

Beaufort London

The opening is startling—a metallic, mineral burst of gunpowder accord cut with tart lime and wreathed in smoke.

Jul et Mad Paris

A brief flash of bergamot fades quickly into orris, which sets the tone: cool, rooty, slightly carrot-like, with the chalky sophistication that defines high iris work.

Fueguia 1833

Gritti

Oud dominates immediately, delivering a dry, medicinal wood that crackles against the mineral snap of gunpowder, creating a smoky, flint-like accord.

Blood Concept

Gunpowder crackles first, a dry mineral spark that smells like struck matches and hot metal.

Alexander Mcqueen

Gunpowder crackles first, a dry mineral spark that lifts the waxy lily petals into something almost incandescent.

Edgardio Chilini

Pineapple, melon, and pear create a lush, tropical fruit opening that is brightened by neroli and grapefruit.

MCMC Fragrances

Yuzu opens with a sharp, bright citrus burst that quickly settles into a crisp, tart aura.
