Born Screaming by Toskovat' is a strange, vivid floral-fruity scent that leans into synthetic textures on purpose. It opens with blackberry, cherry and ground cherry pushed against latex and plastic, sweet fruit wrapped in something rubbery and modern. The heart turns smoky and narcotic: boronia, datura, heliotrope, mignonette and rose smoulder under a trail of smoke. The base settles into ambrette, cabreuva, castoreum, freesia, myrrh, patchouli, pearls and styrax, animalic and resinous at once. Toskovat' gave it no gender line, and it rewards anyone who wants a scent that reads as art rather than easy to like. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, mainly evenings and nights. The vote on longevity leans long-lasting, sillage leans strong too. A 3ml decant is the honest way to meet something this unusual before buying more.

The community verdict
Long-lasting wear and strong projection are the leading reports for Born Screaming, though moderate is the next view for both. Blackberry and cherry give way to boronia and heliotrope, with ambrette in the base. Its fruit and floral notes fit autumn evenings, while winter and night work too.

The house
More from Toskovat'
Toskovat' is a Bucharest perfume house, started in Romania in 2022 by David-Lev Jipa-Slivinschi and named after toska, a Russian word for a deep longing that is hard to put into English. Jipa-Slivinschi is self-taught and studied film before turning to perfume, and it shows: each scent is built like a scene, meant to stir a feeling or a memory rather than simply smell pretty. Expect the unexpected. Vanilla and amaretto sit next to beeswax, candle wax, bread, bubble gum, concrete and even blood. Amaretto in the Melting Room is the sweetest door into the house. Born Screaming, Inexcusable Evil and Pornstar (Noyau Doux) push further, with titles that are part of the story. Everything here is unisex. A small size is the kindest way to meet perfumes this daring before you commit.
