Vulnus is a truly very specific fragrance. The top note of rusty iron, vanilla and leather has a character all its own. Above all, the rusty iron evokes an old, abandoned hospital, where the old equipment has slowly rusted over the years.
In the heart note, burnt caramel and jasmine come together. The burnt caramel adds a lovely, light sweetness, paired with a delicate smokiness. The base finally consists of crème brûlée and egg liqueur: The crème brûlée provides a pronounced sweetness at the end, while the egg liqueur contributes a small bitter counterpoint.
What makes Vulnus special is that the rusty iron note accompanies the fragrance from beginning to end and never completely disappears. This makes it extremely cool, but also very niche. You have to enjoy this kind of direction, which is why a blind buy is not recommended. Testing it beforehand is definitely worthwhile.
The longevity is exceptionally good. Sprayed on in the late afternoon, the fragrance was still perceptible at the same time the following day, although only as a skin scent. Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about the sillage, as I was unable to test it sufficiently.
Another special highlight is the bottle: a true work of art that perfectly reflects the fragrance visually. Both the fragrance and the bottle appear as a cohesive work of art that captures exactly the atmosphere of an old, abandoned hospital.
Conclusion: An extremely characterful, unusual fragrance with above-average longevity and an outstanding bottle, but one that is definitely only suitable for lovers of the rusty, medicinal style.
