Outer Ring - Violence Against People or Property 5ml - Vetiver, sandalwood, rosewood, dill seed, myrtle, white coffee and benzoin.

The River of Blood

The first ring of the Seventh Circle belongs to those who raised their hands against others.

Murderers.

Tyrants.

Warmongers.

Those who chose domination over compassion and destruction over mercy.

In Dante's Inferno, these souls are immersed within the boiling River Phlegethon, a torrent of blood whose depths reflect the magnitude of their violence. Centaurs patrol its banks, ensuring that none may escape the consequences of the suffering they inflicted upon the world.

Here, violence is measured not by intent, but by its impact.

Every wound.

Every life taken.

Every act of cruelty leaves its mark.

Outer Ring – Violence Against People or Property explores the destructive force of aggression and the scars left behind by those who seek to control, damage, or destroy.

Vetiver forms the heart of the fragrance, dark and uncompromising. Rooted deep within the earth, it evokes battlefields long abandoned, scorched landscapes, and the lingering memory of conflict. There is a severity to it that feels both ancient and unavoidable.

Sandalwood and rosewood create a polished, almost civilised foundation. Their beauty is deliberate. Violence is rarely born from monsters alone. More often it emerges from ordinary people, institutions, and ambitions cloaked in the appearance of order. The smooth woods reflect that uncomfortable truth.

Dill seed introduces an unexpectedly sharp edge. Dry, aromatic, and slightly bitter, it cuts through the warmth of the woods like a blade through fabric. It lends tension to the composition, creating an atmosphere of unease that never fully dissipates.

Myrtle weaves through the fragrance with a sombre green character. Traditionally associated with both love and remembrance, its presence serves as a quiet reminder of what violence destroys—not merely lives and property, but relationships, communities, and futures.

White coffee emerges slowly from beneath the darker notes. Pale yet bitter, it evokes long nights of vigilance, military campaigns, investigations, and the exhaustion that follows conflict. It is not comforting. It is survival.

Benzoin settles over the composition like the final residue of smoke after a fire. Warm and resinous, it lends the fragrance an atmosphere of reflection rather than action. By the time it appears, the violence itself has already occurred. What remains are consequences.

Together, the notes create a fragrance that feels disciplined, severe, and deeply contemplative. This is not the heat of rage found in the Fifth Circle. It is violence made deliberate. Chosen. Enacted.

Outer Ring – Violence Against People or Property is a fragrance of power, consequence, and accountability. It examines the damage inflicted when strength is used without compassion and reminds us that every act of violence echoes far beyond the moment it occurs.

Because destruction is always easier than repair.
