The Character and History of the Fragrance
Kevin Schepis Drakula is an eau de parfum released in 2025 by Kevin Schepis, a Brazilian perfume brand.
This is a unisex fragrance with an expressive, rich character, where dark sweetness meets spicy, floral and woody nuances.
The name Drakula gives the composition a gothic mood, but the fragrance is not limited to a single dark note.
It features a juicy fruity facet, appetizing gourmand accords, velvety rose and a deep woody-amber base.
Thanks to this contrast, the perfume smells modern and full-bodied, revealing itself distinctly on the skin.
Olfactive Profile and Development
The fragrance belongs to the floral, gourmand and woody families.
Its character is also shaped by amber, balsamic, fruity, musky, spicy and sweet nuances, making the composition feel layered and rich.
At the opening, the juicy duo of cherry and dark chocolate is especially intriguing.
Hazelnut adds a soft, nutty warmth, the honey accord makes the opening rounded, while a tobacco nuance brings dry depth and a subtle smokiness.
In the heart, the sweet and spicy character is supported by cinnamon, gradually blending with two rose facets.
Damask rose gives the composition an oriental richness, while May rose softens it with a petal-like, airier facet.
At this stage, Drakula becomes especially sensual and expressive.
Base and Sillage
The final stage of the development is built around amber, benzoin, oud, patchouli, sandalwood, nagarmotha, vanilla and musk.
Here, gourmand sweetness meets dry woody nuances, balsamic warmth and a distinctive resinous depth.
Vanilla and benzoin soften the base, while oud, patchouli and nagarmotha preserve its dense, noble darkness.
Kevin Schepis Drakula is described as having very strong sillage, so the fragrance will appeal to those who enjoy a noticeable presence and expressive perfume compositions.
The recommended amount for application to skin and clothing is not specified, so it is best to start with a small number of sprays and assess the development over the first hour.
Who Will Enjoy Drakula
As a unisex perfume, Drakula is not tied to a particular style or gender.
It will especially appeal to those looking for a sweet, spicy and woody fragrance with a dark fruity character, as well as to those who enjoy rose not in a transparent style but in a rich oriental interpretation.
The composition develops best in cool weather, when its amber, chocolate, tobacco and woody nuances sound especially full-bodied.
This is an option for an evening out, a date, an intimate event or any occasion when you want to emphasize your individuality and leave a noticeable fragrant trail behind.
Similar Fragrances
To explore a similar direction, consider Nabeel Bakhoor Watani, as well as Nabeel Ashjan and Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute.
These fragrances may interest fans of rich oriental compositions with woody, amber and sweet accents, although each develops in its own way.
The perfumer behind Drakula is not listed in the database, so the composition is not attributed to a specific creator.
Nevertheless, the release clearly reflects Kevin Schepis's direction: expressive, detail-rich perfumery with a distinctive character and an emphasis on emotional development.
