Rigor Mortis by Maqueda Perfume
Launch Year: 2026
Perfumer: Maqueda
Concentration: Extrait de Parfum

Fragrance Profile:
Rigor Mortis is an unsettling animalic floral fragrance blending chrysanthemum, neroli, lily of the valley, raisin, beeswax, jasmine, rosemary, labdanum, and civet. The fragrance opens with cold floral sharpness and dusty sweetness before evolving into waxy animalic textures wrapped in dark resins and indolic florals. The composition feels gothic, eerie, medicinal, and emotionally provocative with a haunting funeral-like atmosphere.

Performance:
Rigor Mortis delivers powerful longevity with strong projection during the opening hours. The fragrance maintains its waxy animalic and floral atmosphere for many hours, developing into a dense civet-heavy trail that clings strongly to clothing and skin.

Ideal For:
Best suited for cold weather, nighttime wear, gothic aesthetics, and lovers of avant-garde perfumery. Rigor Mortis appeals to those who appreciate challenging artistic fragrances with animalic florals, beeswax textures, dark resins, and emotionally unsettling atmospheric compositions.
