Description
Acrasia by BeauFort London is a perfume where nothing is quite what it seems at first glance.
The focal point of BeauFort London’s creations is the naval history of Great Britain—both real and a part imagined and embellished. Always with a dark and strange edge, which is what makes BeauFort London so fascinating.
Since Ancient Greece, philosophers believed that humans had four liquids, known as humors, and the balance of these determined a person’s mood. Linked with the four elements, when these humors did not relate well to each other or fail to mix, the result was Acrasia.
An emotional state that prevents a person from acting coherently, incapable of doing what is best for them. Described by Plato in many of his texts, this is not a new emotional state but something that involuntarily forms part of being human. Not doing what you should do, or if we extrapolate this to Acrasia by BeauFort London, a rose is a rose and yet is not a rose.
Based on a poem by Edmund Spenser, an English poet of Shakespeare’s time, and his work The Faerie Queene, where one of the protagonists is Acrasia.
Top notes: Sicilian lemon, wine and bergamot.
Heart notes: cinnamon, incense, rose, geranium and jasmine.
Base notes: amber, vanilla, musk, patchouli, vetiver and cedarwood.

I am a fan of the rose note and in this creation by Julie Dunkley she reinterprets that scent to offer a warmer, sweeter one.

Hello Julio.
Thank you very much.
It is a very peculiar rose, very different from everything else from Beaufort.
It is a great fragrance, but as you rightly say, it depends on the “viewer”.
Greetings.

This is the first perfume I’ve bought from this brand. I’m going to go straight to try everything they have available because I loved it. A dark rose with its red petals already dried, a dense and somewhat powdery air, an overall ominous ambiance with traces of red wine from a glass that was tipped over. Fantastic 🙂

Thank you very much Yolanda.

We are glad you liked it.
