The Beldam — an expressive unisex fragrance
The Beldam by Astaroth & Company is an eau de parfum released in 2024 for those who enjoy bold and unusual compositions.
The American brand focuses on unisex fragrances with a strong character, and this release stands out in particular thanks to its combination of gourmand, leather, mineral and alcoholic nuances.
The fragrance belongs to the oriental and gourmand fragrance families.
Its mood is built on contrast: sweet dessert-like associations meet a smoky accord, leather and an unexpected mineral plastic nuance.
As a result, The Beldam comes across not as an ordinary sweet perfume, but as a provocative composition with a theatrical, slightly audacious atmosphere.
The fragrance’s character and scent profile
At its heart is a rich duo of bourbon and caramelised sugar nuances.
Brown sugar, toffee, marshmallow, popcorn and salted caramel create an appetising, almost cinematic facet, while the leather accord and smoke add depth and density.
The plastic nuance gives the fragrance a more avant-garde character and accentuates The Beldam’s independent style.
Since no official note pyramid has been provided, it is impossible to reliably divide the notes into top, middle and base notes.
It is therefore more accurate to perceive the composition as a cohesive set of accords that may unfold on the skin with varying intensity.
Testing the fragrance over time is particularly interesting: its sweet and alcoholic facets may give way to a darker, leathery-smoky impression.
Who is The Beldam for, and when should you wear it?
The Beldam is presented as a unisex fragrance, so its character is not tied to traditional gender expectations.
It will appeal to women and men who choose noticeable compositions, enjoy gourmand experiments and are not afraid of unusual notes.
It is suited to evenings out, cool weather, parties and occasions when you want to leave a memorable impression.
The eau de parfum is considered to have very strong sillage.
The Beldam is best applied sparingly, starting with one or two sprays on the skin and gradually assessing its development; on clothing, the fragrance may last longer and smell more intense.
The manufacturer has not provided precise dosage recommendations for skin or fabric, so it is safer to increase the amount gradually.
Its place in the brand’s collection
For Astaroth & Company, The Beldam is a defining work: the fragrance demonstrates how the brand combines sweet gourmand motifs with leather, smoke and mineral accents.
There is no information about a separate collection, the perfumer who created it or other concentrations of this release.
This makes it all the more interesting to view The Beldam as a statement in its own right rather than a variation on an already familiar line.
Similar fragrances to explore
If you would like to continue exploring unusual and intense compositions, consider Kalem Isra, as well as Khaikin Крах гедонизма and Ganache Parfums White Pop.
They may appeal to fans of expressive fragrances with a noticeable presence and an experimental mood, although their scent profiles do not necessarily replicate The Beldam.
