About This Perfume
This is Not Adrenaline by Hormone Paris is a Woody fragrance for women and men. This is Not Adrenaline was launched in 2020. Top notes are Rose and Raspberry; middle notes are Oud, Saffron and Geranium; base notes are Vanilla, Patchouli and Benzoin. A pulse-quickening composition that opens with spiced raspberry and rose — immediately warm, immediately charged. Saffron and geranium sharpen at the heart, adding heat and focus to the floral structure, while oud wood deepens the middle into something more urgent and controlled. The base settles into patchouli, vanilla, and benzoin: the body after the charge, grounded and dense. The fragrance of fight-or-flight interpreted as precision — not noise, but clarity under pressure. Unisex.
