Toskovat Inexcusable Evil Extrait
Description
Inexcusable Evil is Toskovat's deliberately unsettling "statement" fragrance: gunpowder, iodine and concrete built as a conversation piece rather than a crowd-pleaser.
Created by perfumer David-Lev Jipa-Slivinschi and launched in 2022, Inexcusable Evil was conceived as an artistic response to modern warfare rather than a conventionally wearable scent. The perfumer has both Russian and Ukrainian heritage, and has spoken about the piece as a protest rather than a pleasure. Despite that uncompromising brief, it became the brand's best-selling release. Expect gunpowder and ozonic sharpness up top, a mineral iodine-and-balsamic heart, and a dark concrete-incense base.
Scent Character
- Woody: 67%
- Floral: 8%
- Fresh: 8%
- Smoky/Resinous: 9%
Translation: an avant-garde smoky-woody composition, sharp gunpowder and ozone up top, a mineral, almost bloody heart, settling into dark incense, guaiac wood and concrete. There's no true agarwood in the formula; the resinous share here comes from incense and copaiba balm rather than oud.
