Inspired by the works of satirist William Hogarth, Rake & Ruin by Beaufort London is a debauched fragrance that captures the essence of gin-soaked 18th century London. Created by perfumer Julie Dunkley in 2018, this bold composition combines botanical gin ingredients with dark woods, smoke, and animalic notes.

A complex blend dominated by smoky accords throughout all stages, featuring realistic gin notes with juniper and angelica. The composition evolves from initial cigarette ash and gin towards green, pine-like forest notes, complemented by leather, costus, and castoreum. The base reveals dry woods, musk, and ambergris notes, creating a narrative of debauchery and wilderness.
