About Ondskan
Ondskan Dark Tales Is a Smoky Leather Fragrance With an Animalic Edge
Dark Tales unveils Ondskan, a new leather fragrance for men and women, created by perfumer Arina P. Franzén. Set to launch in 2026, it unfolds like a dark narrative built on striking contrasts.
Tomato leaf, cognac, and resin open with unexpected brightness, while vetiver, stone, spices, and gaiac wood define a mineral heart. The base turns radical, layering gunpowder, animalic notes, and blood with moss, hyraceum, leather, incense, resins, and woods.
Ondskan's composition reads like a story in three acts. The top notes feel green and slightly bitter thanks to tomato leaf, warmed by cognac and deepened by resins that set the stage for what follows.
The heart is all about texture: vetiver and gaiac wood add smoke and structure, stone brings a mineral quality, and spices keep the blend from settling into comfort. It is a tense, intriguing passage.
The base is where Dark Tales makes its mark. Gunpowder, animalic notes, blood, moss, hyraceum, leather, incense, resins, and woody notes create a trail that is smoky, metallic, and unapologetically animalic.
The dominant accords—animalic, mossy, mineral, smoky, metallic, earthy, and musky—interlock without blurring into each other. The result is a complex scent that evolves on the skin and lingers for hours.
Early ratings are strong for a release this daring, with an average of 4.67 out of 5 from three reviews. Ondskan is already making a case for itself in niche perfumery.
This fragrance is for those who love leather, incense, and unconventional dark notes. It will appeal to men and women who want an intense, memorable presence, especially for evening wear, colder weather, or as a signature scent.
Ondskan is a bold and coherent release that doesn't try to please everyone. Its mineral, animalic, and smoky leather character leaves a lasting impression and rewards patience with a rich, evolving story.
