'A rose is a rose is not a rose'
All is not always as it first appears.
Character: Haunting, powerful, seductive.
Inspiration: A 16th Century epic allegorical poem; a sorceress; a mythic forest.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Acrasia suits the hour when conversation slows and a floral scent can feel more provocative than pretty. Wine-dark rose and cool incense suggest composure with an uneasy undertow—a presence noticed at close range rather than announced through sweetness.
How to wear
Cool weather gives the spiced rose, incense and warm woody base room to unfold. Begin with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing for a measured presence; add more only after assessing the drydown. In warmer conditions, keep application light to balance its fresh opening against the richer base.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to roses with smoke, spice and woody tension rather than soft romantic sweetness. Acrasia will appeal to lovers of literary fragrances, incense-led florals and compositions that place beauty beside something darker.

Collaborators
BeauFort founder Leo Crabtree served as creative director, shaping the fragrance’s literary concept and atmosphere alongside perfumer Julie Dunkley.
Beaufort’s story
BeauFort London builds fragrances around poetry, maritime history and unsettling fragments of British culture rather than conventional prettiness. Founded by musician Leo Crabtree, the house treats smoke as a central creative language, pairing small-batch British production with deliberately forceful, sometimes polarizing compositions.
Acrasia’s concept
Acrasia draws on Edmund Spenser’s sixteenth-century epic The Faerie Queene and the enchantress whose Bower of Bliss conceals danger beneath beauty. Wine, spiced rose, incense and warm woods translate that seductive uncertainty into scent: a rose that is not quite what it first appears.
Extra info
Acrasia belongs to BeauFort’s Revenants collection and is handmade in Britain. Its official note pyramid includes wine alongside citrus at the opening, followed by rose, cinnamon and incense.
