Placebo

Explore 6 Placebo fragrances — notes, longevity, sillage and community ratings, matched to how you want to smell.

Patchouli and labdanum form the foundation of this house's compositions. These materials are paired with tonka bean and amberwood to create a profile defined by sweet, warm spicy, and amber accords. The resulting fragrances carry a heavy, resinous character that feels dense and rounded.

Alongside this core, the range incorporates fruity and aromatic elements that provide a contrast to the deep base. Powdery facets also appear throughout the different releases. This combination of dark, sweet resins and lighter complementary notes shapes the overall direction of the catalogue. Gris Solaire is one example of how these specific materials are blended within the lineup.
