Terrible Teddy

A smoky, sensual leather fragrance with incense, supple leather, and a warm ambroxan-vetiver drydown. Best suited to evenings, cooler weather, dates, and other settings where a composed but distinctive presence is desired.

Scent Development and Character

A smoky leather scent built on incense up top, a supple leather core, and a warm ambroxan-and-vetiver base. It opens dry and resinous, turns smoother and more sensual in the heart, then settles into a polished, musky-amber warmth.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to evenings, cooler weather, dates, and other settings where a composed but distinctive presence is desired. It reads as polished and assertive rather than loud, and is therefore more natural in autumn and winter than in heat. Best in autumn and winter, with possible use on cool spring evenings. Sillage is Moderate sillage; noticeable nearby without projecting aggressively. Longevity is Moderate to long-lasting; roughly 6-8 hours on skin in typical wear, with longer presence on clothing.

Perfumer and Bottle

Released in 2019, this is presented as Eau de Parfum and credited to Undisclosed. Clear glass Portraits bottle with a gold animal-head cap; the Teddy version is presented in the standard 75 ml format.
