Splash
ALT. Fragrances is an independent fragrance house known for unconventional compositions that blur traditional gender boundaries. The brand focuses on unexpected ingredient combinations and emotional storytelling through scent.
Splash opens with a sharp, woody top featuring broom and buchu alongside guaiac wood and spruce, cut with a surprising toffee note that adds gourmand sweetness. The heart shifts toward amber and labdanum, with cilantro and mushroom creating an earthy, almost savory character that's balanced by syrupy undertones. The base settles into a woody, musky foundation with georgywood and persistent mushroom notes, finishing with hints of hyacinth and rosemary that keep the composition feeling fresh and slightly herbal despite its gourmand core.
This is a fragrance for those comfortable with contradiction -- it's simultaneously sweet and earthy, woody and delicate, refined and slightly offbeat. The mushroom and cilantro create an savory depth that prevents it from reading as conventionally pretty, making it ideal for someone seeking aquatic freshness with genuine complexity. It works well year-round, though its woody amber base gives it enough structure for cooler months. Those drawn to The Romantic, The Reverie, and The Hedonist will find something to appreciate here.
