Audacity
A confident potion and a tribute to those who are not only prepared to take a gamble, but relish it, laughing in the face of adversity. For here is an ode to modern day British entrepreneurial optimism, life is moving fast, fortunes are being made and lost, but let’s face it, the journey is where the thrill is at its most potent.
Brash and loud is not Audacity’s style; it is far more refined. This unisex fragrance oozes a level of confident subtle sophistication, with it’s aromatic, citrus qualities ascending from an oriental woody base. Audacity is quietly noticeable, daring and bold, but sees no need to shout about it’s merits; people take notice anyway.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Audacity suits the moment before a consequential conversation, when composure matters more than display. Grapefruit and juniper give the opening a brisk edge; tobacco and moss lend weight as the distance closes. Its register is alert, self-possessed and quietly sensual.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the citrus-aromatic opening and woody base can share the foreground. Start with one or two sprays on the chest and neck for a restrained presence; in warmer conditions, use a lighter application to keep the emphasis on freshness.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy aromatic citrus fragrances with a dry, textured foundation rather than pronounced sweetness. Juniper and geranium bring freshness, while tobacco, vetiver and oakmoss appeal to a taste for restrained woody depth.
Release year
2020 (or 2023)
Plowden & Fallow’s story
Based in Shropshire, Plowden & Fallow interprets British traditions, folklore and eccentricity through contemporary fragrance. British production, small batches and carefully crafted packaging underpin a house identity that values character and detail over ostentation.
Audacity’s concept
Audacity was conceived as a tribute to modern British entrepreneurial optimism: the willingness to take risks, face adversity and enjoy the uncertainty of the journey. Its aromatic citrus opening and woody foundation express that idea through assured sophistication rather than brashness.
Extra info
The published base includes oakmoss absolute alongside vetiver, tobacco, cedar and musk. Audacity was also among the fragrances covered in Luca Turin’s article on Plowden & Fallow.
