Take In ‘Batman’s Gotham Under Your Nose With Scents That Smell Like Dark Knight

Ever wish you were Batman? Now you can imagine you’re living the life of the superhero in Gotham City, right from your own home. 

Fragrance brand House of Sillage has teamed up with the popular franchise to release a limited-edition collection, claiming to “capture the olfactory sensorial experience of Gotham City” and allowing customers to smell just like the Dark Knight. 

First up, the aptly-titled ‘The Batman’ perfume (US$395) will leave you smelling “urban, environmental, and mysterious.” Though it’s unclear what the means exactly, the bottle sure is stunning, crafted with diamond-cut Swarovski crystals encrusted into hand-polished French Glass bearing the iconic Bat motif. 

With top notes of candied apple, pear leaves, and magnolia; heart notes of smoky rose, violet, and leather accord; and base notes of sandalwood, musk patchouli, moss, and warm vanilla, you’ll feel “heroic, audacious, undefeated” every time you spritz on this scent. 

If the nearly US$400 price tag is a stretch, there’s the ‘Vengeance’ fragrance retailing at a slightly cheaper US$295. The perfume, housed in the House of Sillage’s famed ‘flask’, is described as encompassing the Oud of “Batman’s vendetta for Gotham’s justice.” 

Again, the scent’s description doesn’t give much away, though the firm noted Vengeance includes top notes of bergamot, cardamom, and tonka bean; heart notes of Egyptian Jasmin absolute, cashmeran, and Haitian vetiver; and base notes of amber, patchouli, and oakmoss. 

Rather your apartment sell of Batman than yourself? The collection also offers a limited-edition candle (US$60), which will bring the sensorial experience of Gotham City right into your home. With the same scent notes as the Hero fragrance, you’ll get to enjoy a whiff of the famed locale even from miles away.
