Wistful and elegant
I think of this as a vintage perfume for people who don’t usually like vintages. It’s accessible without being boring. It’s retro without feeling stuffy or obsolete. If you tend to shy away from animalic notes, give this one à chance. It’s barely noticeable and it blends so well with the white florals that it gives the perfume the right amount dimension.

This perfume doesn’t shout, it whispers. The sillage is intimate and soft, and to me, that makes it an ideal scent for sleep.

Tragedy has a melancholy feeling - similar to the smell before the rain. Tragedy has the type of beauty that Edgar Allen Poe gives to the heroines of his poems.

I have seen others compare it to Robert Piguet’s “Fracas.” To me personally, this feels like it belongs in the same genre as Regime des Fleurs’ “Tears” and Etat Libre d’Orange’s “Jasmin et Cigarette.” Even though they smell very different, I would also recommend Tragedy to fans of Universal Flowering’s “Heliotrope Milkbath.”

This scent is dramatic! For me, it's the perfect tuberose fragrance, slightly animalistic and with a vintage touch. I love it!
