Drunk Lovers

Drunk Lovers by Born To Stand Out is a fragrance that captures the intensity of a night full of desire and passion, where every moment is an intoxicating sigh. Created by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, this eau de parfum opens with a vibrant citrus burst: citronella, bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit mingle with juniper and red berries, creating an electrifying energy that sets the tone for the fragrance's decadent heart.

At the heart, brandy combines with warm spices like ginger and pepper, along with clary sage and cypress, while the base unfolds into a sensual richness of amber, sandalwood, cedar, and vanilla, with earthy touches of patchouli, vetiver, and benzoin. Cardamom, cinnamon, and musk add an animalic warmth that recalls the wild, untamed nature of love.

Drunk Lovers is for those who embrace the wild side of life, who want a fragrance as intoxicating and unpredictable as night itself. Wear it and feel the rush of desire, the ecstasy of a love that consumes you, body and soul.

Olfactory Family

Drunk Lovers belongs to the woody spicy olfactory family, a category that in today's niche perfumery moves away from convention to explore denser, more evocative textures. This fragrance is not limited to being a warm scent; it is an architectural structure where the sweetness of liqueur rests on a base of solid woods and resins. Sensory-wise, this means a constant transition between the initial freshness and a balsamic depth that clings to the skin with remarkable staying power.

The Perfumer

The nose behind this composition is Hamid Merati-Kashani. The perfumer is widely recognized in the industry for his masterful ability to balance the opulence of Eastern ingredients with the technical elegance of Western perfumery. In Drunk Lovers, Merati-Kashani shows his skill in handling the brandy note, moving it away from a merely gastronomic result and turning it into an element of sophisticated, carnal seduction.

How It Evolves on the Skin

It smells like the silent complicity of the last hours of the night, just when the atmosphere grows heavy and the shadows lengthen. At first, the fragrance offers a vibrant citrus nuance that quickly gives way to a spiced liqueur. It is like feeling the warmth of a fine crystal glass between your hands while the air fills with dry spices. It evolves from the spark of grapefruit to a creamy, woody base.

The presence of the brandy is not fleeting, but settles in like a magnetic veil. Unlike other house offerings such as Sex & Cognac, where leather and oud mark a darker territory, Drunk Lovers leans toward a fruity dynamism that makes it highly versatile. Just like Drunk Saffron, it uses alcohol as the thread that tells a story of pleasure and controlled excess.
