Unheimlich – Eau de Parfum

Wienerblut – a Viennese niche label with a taste for psychoanalysis. Unheimlich references Sigmund Freud: the uncanny is the familiar and the unfamiliar at once – dark, clean, dirty, innocent, erotic, and intriguing all together.

Unheimlich smells leathery, animalic, and smoky. Red pepper, cardamom, and cistus open warmly spiced, lavender and jasmine sambac add a floral facet, at the heart iris, costus, and cumin meet cacao, before ambergris, civet, castoreum, birch tar, vetiver, wild leather, and opoponax lay down a deeply animalic, smoky base.

Unheimlich works best in the colder months and in the evening – a unisex fragrance for anyone unafraid of ambivalence.

What makes this fragrance special to us: that it fits no familiar category – Unheimlich is attractive and unsettling at once, exactly as its namesake would have described it.
