Crime
Franck Boclet is a French niche house founded in 2009 by perfumer Franck Boclet himself. Known for bold, unconventional compositions that prioritize raw materials over commercial appeal, the brand has built a reputation for fragrances that challenge rather than comfort.
Crime opens with dark chocolate that immediately signals its gourmand intentions, supported by prominent oud and warm spice notes. The heart develops around agarwood and leather, with tonka bean and heliotrope adding sweetness and softness to the composition. The base anchors everything with deeper oud alongside amber, sandalwood, and cedar, creating a woody, resinous foundation that prevents the fragrance from becoming one-dimensional despite its dessert-like opening. The overall effect is a warm, spicy gourmand with serious depth, balancing sweetness against darker woody and leathery elements.
Crime works best on someone who appreciates gourmand fragrances but finds most examples too linear or saccharine. It's equally at home in cooler months when its warmth feels natural, though the oud gives it enough complexity for year-round wear. This is a fragrance for evening or intimate settings rather than office or daytime occasions. Explore similar scents: The Seducer, The Reverie, and The Hedonist.
