Launched in 2023 and composed by Jordi Fernández, Drunk Lovers is presented as an extrait of Borntostandout’s most celebrated fragrance, enriched with the opulence of wine, leather, and oud. That idea gives the scent its clear direction: a woody amber composition built around refined excess, close contact, and the charged atmosphere of a night that lingers in memory through warmth and elegant tension.
The opening sets the tone immediately with red wine, a note that feels full, dark, and expressive. Bergamot brings a sharp flash of brightness, while wine lees add a fermented, textured nuance that deepens the impression rather than sweetening it. Clary sage keeps the structure taut, lending an aromatic lift that gives the dense introduction shape and movement.
At the heart, the boozy effect shifts into brandy, rounder and more resonant, paired with red ginger for a controlled spicy edge. Davana extends the warm, fruit-tinged facet, and jasmine sambac introduces a rich floral dimension with a velvety accent that never disrupts the scent’s darker profile. Peru balsam acts as a connector here, drawing the liqueur-like heart toward the richer, resinous base.
As it settles, Drunk Lovers reveals its core through roasted tonka, akigalawood, cistus, leather, and oud. The tonka feels dark and gently toasted rather than overtly sweet; leather adds shape and presence; cistus and oud sustain a dry, resinous gravity, while akigalawood sharpens the woody structure with a more contemporary accent. The overall effect is intimate, warm, and slightly dizzying in the best sense—like the precise moment when the night softens, voices lower, and everything feels closer to the skin.
