Drunk Lovers
Drunk Lovers by BORNTOSTANDOUT is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemongrass, bergamot, lemon, cedarwood, grapefruit and red berries, moves into cognac, ginger, clary sage and cypress and dries down to amber, cedarwood, sandalwood, vanilla, benzoin and patchouli. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemongrass Sharp, grassy lemon. Bright and clean, with a herbal edge.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
Heart
- Cognac Boozy, fruity and warming. Richer and rounder than rum.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
