Profundum MARTYR
Extrait de Parfum (42%) 

from the Profundum Series

Born of fire, hardened by memory, MARTYR is a scent of loss and resilience—of wandering through time until even the past becomes fiction. The soul behind this fragrance has no home, only the sound of burning pinecones and the ache of cracked bark beneath weathered skin.

Sharp and jarring at first, MARTYR opens with the sting of black pepper, rusted nails, and splinters—like a broken relic unearthed too late. Then, a stillness arrives. Smoke, pine needles, and charred wood (yakisugi) fill the air, the scent of a forest sacrificed to survive itself. At its core, a scorched leather wraps around the ember keeping it upright. Finally, the drydown brings the silence of aftermath—resins, wet earth, and moss clinging to the roots of forgotten trees.

A fragrance not of destruction, but of what remains.
