Against Nature Timothy Han Edition

Against Nature by Timothy Han Edition Perfumes is a highly polarizing, avant-garde fragrance that embraces synthetic and industrial elements to challenge traditional notions of natural scents. It opens with a bright, green, and metallic assault—juniper, lemon, pink pepper, and sharp lacquer-like notes create an acerbic, almost electric front. This evolves into a complex, layered composition with a surprisingly subtle floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang, balanced by ink-like, ozone-heavy blue-green notes and a faint, sour melon character that feels otherworldly. The base features a drape of musky amber, sandalwood, and vetiver, lending depth and longevity without softening the fragrance's stark character. It's an elegant, cerebral scent that feels more like a conceptual art piece than a traditional perfume—brash, modern, and unapologetically alien. While some experience the contrast of green freshness with industrial metallic tones as invigorating and stimulating, others find the fleeting floral and ozone notes dissolving too quickly, or perceive it as soapy or irritatingly synthetic. The performance is moderate to long, with a clear presence that lingers in a space between defined sillage and a soft aura against the skin. It's best suited for those who appreciate challenging, conceptual fragrances and wear it in moments of self-expression rather than daily practicality.
