Notes Pyramid

Geometria ▽ B centers around a rich accord of aged cognac, bitter dark chocolate, and heavy leather, pinned down by a dry base of olibanum incense. It smells like warming up by a stone fireplace inside an old wooden cabin with an unlit cigar, a glass of amber spirit, and a tray of roasted cocoa beans.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDOn warm skin, the opening blast of warm spicy liquor quickly surrenders its sharp ethanol bite to reveal an earthy, bitter dark chocolate. As the hours tick past, the smoky leather and resinous olibanum take full control, drying out the initial moisture into an amber-tinged, animalic woodiness that never turns sticky or overly sweet.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“YanFroloff Geometria ▽ B Review: Rough Leather, Boozy Cognac, and Cocoa”
Spraying Geometria ▽ B on your wrist hits you immediately with a potent, boozy splash of aged cognac. There is no polite greeting here; the alcohol note feels raw, warm, and slightly medicinal, exactly like uncorking a bottle of dark liquor in a cold room. Within minutes, a dusting of powdery dark chocolate emerges to soften that initial alcoholic punch. It is not sweet milk chocolate or hot cocoa mix, but rather the bitter, dry scent of pure cocoa powder dumped onto a rustic wooden cutting board.
As the opening settle down over the first half hour, the heart of the fragrance reveals an earthy, rugged leather note. This smells like an old, well-loved motorcycle jacket that has absorbed years of road dust and woodsmoke. Alongside the leather, a distinct stream of olibanum incense curls into the mix, adding a resinous, balsamic warmth that keeps the composition from feeling too harsh or industrial. The transition from boozy cocoa into smoky resins is smooth and deliberate.
On skin, the accords evolve into a fascinating interplay of dry woodiness and gentle animalic tones. The cocoa note does not disappear; instead, it binds directly to the leather and frankincense, creating an impression of charred cacao shells and warm resins. Where many modern designer perfumes lean on ethyl maltol and vanilla to create an easy gourmand, Yan Froloff lets the natural bitterness of the ingredients carry the weight. The result is a scent that feels tactile, textured, and deeply comforting without ever feeling cloying.
When it comes to performance, Geometria ▽ B is built like a winter tank. You can reliably expect eight to ten hours of longevity on bare skin, while two sprays on an overcoat will easily linger until the next laundry cycle. During the first two hours, the projection pushes outward to roughly three or four feet, announcing your arrival with a cloud of dark chocolate and spirits. As the evening wears on, it pulls closer to create a personal warmth bubble that projects an arm's length away whenever you shift or take off your coat.
This is not a fragrance for high school gym bags or buttoned-up boardrooms. It demands cold air, cool breezes, and relaxed evening settings where rich scents can breathe. It suits anyone who leans toward rugged indie aesthetics, leather boots, and niche perfumery with real personality. If your daily style involves casual flannel, knit sweaters, or leather outerwear, this perfume slots right into your seasonal wardrobe. However, perfume newcomers accustomed to clean citrus colognes might find the opening alcohol blast a bit startling.
Geometria ▽ B delivers an authentic, unfiltered indie experience that celebrates dark, grounding notes. By balancing the bitter bite of dark chocolate and the warmth of cognac against rugged leather and church-like olibanum, Yan Froloff crafted a scent that feels both rustic and evocative. If you are hunting for a distinctive, cold-weather statement fragrance and do not mind tracking down small-batch bottles, it is thoroughly worth hunting down a sample.
FAQs
What does the opening of Geometria ▽ B smell like?+
The opening hits with a sharp splash of warm cognac and raw, unsweetened dark chocolate powder. The alcohol note feels punchy and boozy during the first five minutes before mellowing into a roasted, cacao-dusted aroma. It avoids sweet sugar entirely, creating an intense, rustic opening that announces itself immediately on skin.
How does the scent transition into the heart and dry-down?+
After roughly thirty minutes, the boozy top notes quiet down to spotlight a rugged jacket leather note. At the same time, smoky olibanum resin emerges to add warmth and a dry, church-like incense feel. The final dry-down lingers as a warm mix of smoky woods, animalic leather, and bitter chocolate.
How many hours does Geometria ▽ B last on skin and clothes?+
On skin, Geometria ▽ B delivers eight to ten hours of solid longevity in cold weather. On fabrics like wool sweaters, denim jackets, and winter scarves, the base notes of leather and olibanum easily hold on for over twenty-four hours. You will not need to reapply during an evening out.
What is the projection radius and sillage trail like?+
During the first two hours, the projection reaches out three to four feet, pushing a bold cloud of dark cocoa and cognac around you. After two hours, it settles into an intimate arm's-length scent bubble that leaves a faint, inviting trail of warm smoke and leather as you walk past.
Which seasons and weather conditions suit this fragrance best?+
This fragrance is tailored specifically for late autumn and freezing winter days when temperatures dip below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius). The dense blend of cognac, leather, and frankincense thrives in biting winds. Wearing it during hot, humid summer days will feel suffocating and overly sticky.
What occasions and settings are appropriate for wearing it?+
Geometria ▽ B fits casual weekend gatherings, outdoor winter walks, pub visits, and relaxed evening dates. Its dark, smoky nature works best in open or casual environments. Avoid wearing it in enclosed corporate offices or medical facilities where strong boozy and animalic notes might overwhelm coworkers.
Does Geometria ▽ B lean masculine, feminine, or unisex?+
While officially designated for men, anyone who loves rugged, smoky scents can wear it. The heavy leather, bitter cacao, and dry olibanum give it a distinctly dark, masculine character. Women who enjoy non-sweet amber and leather perfumes will also appreciate its rustic, cozy dry-down.
How does Geometria ▽ B compare to Kilian Black Phantom?+
Kilian Black Phantom is significantly sweeter, leaning heavily into edible sugar cane, rum, and caramel syrup. In contrast, Geometria ▽ B takes a drier, more rugged path, swapping sugary sweetness for worn jacket leather, bitter baker's chocolate, and dry incense smoke. It feels far more artisanal and raw.
Is Geometria ▽ B good value for money?+
Given its potent concentration, eight-hour longevity, and small-batch indie origin, it offers solid value for niche enthusiasts. While tracking down bottles from independent Russian perfumer Yan Froloff takes extra effort, the quality of the raw resins and bitter cacao accords easily justifies the investment for serious collectors.
Can Geometria ▽ B be layered with other fragrances?+
Yes, it layers wonderfully with simple single-note vanilla, amber, or sweet tonka bean scents to soften its rugged leather edges. You can also pair it with a dry cedarwood or light sandalwood base. Avoid layering it with fresh aquatic or sharp citrus colognes, which clash awkwardly with its dark, smoky profile.
