About Thorny Issue
Thorny Issue: A Spiny Floral Chypre from On The Nose Perfumes
Thorny Issue is the latest unisex fragrance from On The Nose Perfumes, launched in 2024 and composed by Gabrielle Durand. It belongs to the Floral Chypre family, with a green, sweet and animalic character.
The name hints at something a little dangerous: it opens with sharp leafy notes, moves through a lush rose heart, and settles into a warm, tobacco-laced base. A perfume that wears its contradictions proudly.
The top notes combine raspberry leaf, violet leaf, galbanum, cypress and hemlock. It creates a crisp, aromatic opening that feels both dewy and raw, with a distinctly green bite.
Turkish rose, jasmine and rose form the heart. The flowers are rich and gently powdery, with the rose taking center stage and lending a classical elegance to the composition.
At the base, exotic woods, immortelle, H iráceo, tobacco, civet and Madagascan vanilla create a warm and slightly animalic foundation. The sweet and woody accords are balanced by the darker, more sensual materials.
Gabrielle Durand builds a fragrance that evolves slowly on the skin. The green opening melts into a smooth, balsamic drydown, while the animalic notes add texture without overwhelming the florals.
This is a niche-style scent with real presence. It feels wild and cultivated at the same time, like a garden that has grown over a parterre. Expect compliments – and a few raised eyebrows.
Thorny Issue will appeal to those who love floral chypres with a rough edge, especially fans of rose, green leaves and tobacco. It's made for anyone seeking a distinctive, unisex signature with good sillage.
With Thorny Issue, On The Nose Perfumes delivers a confident, well-crafted composition. The contrast between bright greenery and deep animalic warmth makes it a memorable addition to any collection.
