Dapper + Obsidian: The Dark Academia Duo That Smells Like Seductive Intelligence
There are scent combinations, and then there are experiences. If Rouge + Vanilla is the scent of a rich aunt with boundary issues and a yacht, then Dapper + Obsidian is the professor who may or may not be a retired spy.
This duo is rich, complex, moody in the best way, and not afraid to carry a leather satchel with nothing inside but secrets and vibes.
Meet the Duo
Dapper (Inspired by Layton)
Refined, spicy, and smooth. Dapper walks into a room like it’s already solved the mystery. The notes lean masculine without screaming, with apple, vanilla, and warm woods that feel both grounded and elevated.
Obsidian (Inspired by Noir Extreme)
Creamy, amber-heavy decadence. Think cardamom, sandalwood, and a hint of dessert—but make it dangerous. Obsidian is what happens when sweetness goes to grad school and starts dressing in tailored black coats.
Together? Pure magic.
Why This Combo Works
-
Dapper lays the foundation: crisp, confident, a little flirtatious.
-
Obsidian adds the unexpected twist: warm, exotic, and deep.
Layering them creates a scent that evolves throughout the day—starting off fresh and charismatic, and slowly warming into something intimate, mysterious, and quietly powerful.
It’s the olfactory version of rereading your favorite classic novel under dim lighting while plotting the downfall of your enemies. You know. Casual.
How to Wear It

That one friend group where everyone secretly wants to outsmart each other
