Douleur! - extrait de parfum

A metallic, oxidized rose; sweet and fresh, modern and vintage at the same time. ‘Douleur’ means pain in French, a fitting name if you know that Douleur! was made by Antonio in collaboration with the UK tattoo artist, Freddie Albrighton.

Yet Douleur! is an intriguing rose fragrance with a twist, for those who like their rose with heavy metal and chewy sweetness and with a love for the unexpected. “Pain and pleasure. …I think it is subtly strange, and uncomfortable, and disturbing … and yet there is a softness, and a sweetness that gradually shines through, that cannot immediately be seen through the piercing beginning.  This has been a love filled, explosively creative project, and I am so excited for people to experience Douleur.” – Freddie Albrighton

Antonio Gardoni, architect and self-taught perfumer, has a unique avant-garde style that is easily detectable in the fragrances from his brand: Bogue Profumo. Each of his creations is unique. Some with a vintage dirty vibe and others with an ultra modern, pleasantly disturbing touch. "I work at night when the light doesn’t adulterate the chemicals and when the smells of the day disappears to leave space to new experiments of shadows.” - Antonio Gardoni
