Gorgon by For Strange Women is an atmospheric oil perfume that opens cold, damp, and distinctly mineral. The initial spray or dab places raw coral limestone and chilly metallic notes upfront, giving off the scent of wet stone quarries or rain on ancient concrete. As the liquid warms against your skin, resinous opoponax and Peru balsam emerge from underneath, adding a slow, dark warmth. The contrast between icy mineral top notes and a dense, sweet resin base defines the entire wear. Dry wood and amyris keep the backdrop earthy rather than gourmand, while tonka lends a subtle almond-like smooth texture during late dry-down. It suits cool rainy spring afternoons or dark fall evenings when you want a quiet, brooding scent rather than a traditional floral or amber. Show less
