Born Screaming

The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, blending the crispness of cherry with the subtle hum of machinery.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

David-Lev Jipa-Slivinschi launched Born Screaming in 2023 as a bold statement for Toskovat', the brand known for pushing boundaries. The fragrance opens with cherry and plastic, creating an unexpected tension between sweetness and industrialism. This is balanced by a heart of rose and blackberry, which adds depth and warmth before settling into a smoky, amber base that reads like a modern, complex twist on traditional florals.

How to wear it

Apply Born Screaming to pulse points and let it sit for a few minutes. The initial burst of plastic and cherry fades quickly, revealing the deeper floral and smoky notes that last through the day.
