About This Perfume
Think Smoky tea and whisky, dark tobacco and resin: that is BeauFort London Vi Et Armis. It opens with lapsang souchong tea, whisky and cardamom, moves into frankincense, opium poppy and ylang-ylang and settles on dark tobacco, Oud and amber. It reads unisex.
It is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2015.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and smoky for nights out.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong smoky notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $150.
