Seven Fragrances That Speak to the Soul's Desires
AHOLIC is a new niche perfume house dedicated to crafting olfactory experiences that embody addiction and obsession. Each of its seven fragrances is designed to evoke an irresistible, almost obsessive allure, drawing from deep, evocative scent profiles. The brand prides itself on its sustainable approach, utilizing refillable packaging and natural ingredients wherever possible.
AHOLIC made its debut at Esxence 2025, where I had the pleasure of discovering its fragrances. As of the publication of this article, the perfumes are not yet available for sale.
The Seven Addictive Fragrances
Blowing Away
Carnal Heat
Eat Me Up
Forbidden Fuel
Lost in Lust
Love Dopamine
Narcotic Euphoria
My Personal Favorites
As the author of this article, I have chosen three fragrances that captivate me the most from AHOLIC’s collection:
Blowing Away
Description: Breathing in the flames of hell to awaken the dragon within. A tobacco-infused fragrance that delights the senses with jasmine, oud, and vanilla. As the embers settle, iris flourishes at its heart, and incense burns away past sorrows. The mind is set free to soar towards Eden.
Olfactory Concept: Woody Oud Tobacco
Top Notes: Rum, Davana, Olibanum, Tobacco
Heart Notes: Incense Fusion, Orris, Leather, Jasmine, Sandalwood
Base Notes: Oud, Musk, Sugar, Vanilla, Guaiac Wood
"Rum and tobacco flirt with myrrh and incense, unveiling a precious heart of jasmine and sandalwood. A final touch of vanilla and musk completes this irresistibly sensual trail."
Eat Me Up
Description: A luscious gourmand scent that melts into notes of vanilla and almond, heightened by pink pepper. A delicate infusion that never truly satisfies but keeps you coming back. Its cashmere-like embrace offers warmth, comfort, and indulgence.
Olfactory Concept: Woody Amber Gourmand
Top Notes: Almond, Pink Pepper
Heart Notes: Rose, Tobacco, Cashmere
Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Musk
"Almond and orange blossom merge in a soft and irresistible opening, like a sugary cloud. Its delicately powdery floral heart of rose and tobacco is wrapped in a creamy veil of vanilla and tonka bean."
Narcotic Euphoria
Description: A heady fragrance designed to immerse you in a state of narcotic bliss. A rainbow-colored world unfolds with cassis and geranium, offering a contrast between light and shadow. Resting on a bed of vetiver, the scent carries whispers of pepper and olibanum, followed by an exhilarating burst of grapefruit and cannabis.
Olfactory Concept: Woody Aromatic
Top Notes: Grapefruit, Pepper
Heart Notes: Cannabis, Blackcurrant, Olibanum
Base Notes: Nagarmotha, Musk, Vetiver
"Grapefruit clashes with the intensity of black pepper in a bold explosion. The heart reveals secretive and fleeting notes of cannabis, like a forbidden whisper, floating over a trail of vetiver and Palo Santo."
(Personal Note: The combination of cannabis and grapefruit is extraordinarily beautiful—bold yet fresh, invigorating yet mysterious.)
AHOLIC’s approach to perfumery is fearless, daring to explore the depths of human desire and obsession. These scents do not merely perfume the skin—they tell stories, awaken emotions, and, above all, become addictions of their own.
