Sin & Pleasure
Sin & Pleasure by BORNTOSTANDOUT is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with white flowers, moves into ylang-ylang and almond and dries down to caramel, vanilla, oud, leather, patchouli and rum. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- White Flowers A blend of creamy white petals rather than one named flower.
Heart
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
Dry-down
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
