The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Boy Smells, Tantrum is a composition that captures the essence of fresh and bold energy. Created by perfumer Clement Gavarry, this aromatic fragrance opens with green bell pepper and bergamot, creating an unexpected yet exhilarating contrast. The heart notes of mint, galbanum, and mate add a refreshing touch, while marigold introduces a subtle floral presence. As it settles into the base, sandalwood, iris, vetiver, ambroxan, and virginia cedar provide a grounding warmth, making Tantrum a scent that evolves gracefully throughout the day.

How to wear it

Start with one spray to let Tantrum's layers unfold naturally. The green bell pepper and bergamot top notes are vivid but fleeting, so apply it in the morning for optimal impact. For lasting warmth, add another light spritz on your pulse points as the day progresses.
