A memory sealed in metal, smoke, and blood.
This perfume carries the sharpest edges of my memories.
Gun Shadows is an autobiographical fragrance shaped by obsession, survival, and the pursuit of identity through scent. Created through the eyes of a visual artist and the instincts of a nose, it explores memory as something cold, violent, intimate, and impossible to erase.
The opening cuts through the skin with metallic accords and blood notes , sharp like rusted iron, cold steel, and trembling hands marked by time. The metallic presence moves through the fragrance like a weapon and a memory at once: industrial, sterile, haunting.
At its heart, faded wanted signs, aged liquor, and cheap cigarette smoke drift through the composition like fragments of a forgotten life nostalgic, destructive, and painfully human.
The dry down settles into coffin woods, dark agarwood, old newspapers, and black ink. Dusty and shadowed, it lingers like abandoned archives, funeral rooms, and unfinished sketches left behind after death.
Gun Shadows is not made to comfort.
It is a document of scars, printed in smoke, metal, and ash.
