Real talk
Rake & Ruin smells like the decision you almost didn't make. The gin opens bright and medicinal, then smoke takes over, leaning into costus and castoreum, animalic but never filthy, smoky but never.Rake & Ruin
The name is literal. This smells like ink on paper in a cold room. Cypress up front is greener than expected, and vetiver stays close to the skin for hours. Cashmere wood is subtle in the base.Encre Noire
