Rake & Ruin by BeauFort London
2018 • Unisex

BEAUFORT LONDON
RAKE & RUIN

Rake & Ruin opens with a bold and spicy burst, where the heat of Sichuan pepper and pink pepper dances alongside the freshness of citrus from orange and lemon, creating an invigorating start. As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals a complex blend of smoky notes intertwined with earthy costus and the resinous character of cade oil. This intriguing mix is softened by violet and pine needles, adding depth to the composition. In the base, the scent settles into a rich tapestry of woody notes, musk, and the warmth of sandalwood, rounded out with a lingering smokiness that invites intrigue. This unisex fragrance is best suited for the colder months, making it an ideal companion for winter and fall evenings. With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Rake & Ruin is perfect for those looking to make a statement without overwhelming the senses. It's a great choice for anyone who appreciates bold, smoky aromas with a woody backbone. If you're drawn to fragrances like Byredo's Black Saffron or Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, Rake & Ruin deserves a spot on your shelf.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Rake & Ruin opens on smoke and angelica before easing into a smoke and cypress heart. The dry-down settles on smoke, woody notes, and ambrarome, giving the composition its lasting character. Performance lands in the middle: dependable longevity with measured projection. Lives in the winter-to-fall window with a nighttime tilt. Verdict: a solid mid-tier pick with broad appeal at 3.8/5.
