looking for recommendations from experienced frag-heads for "evil" type fragrances - interpret evil however you may. not a bad smell, but an evil smell. the first thing that comes to my mind is an uncommon, dark, smoky, woody, musky type scent ;maybe some herbs and if theres any fruit it would be stone fruit. but thats just one idea about what this descriptor would entail, y'know something a sharp but working class villain would wear.

Kingdom by Alexander McQueen.
Marketed as women's perfume but packs heavier brass than any men's cologne.
Dark, smokey, woody, very musky and borderline disturbing.

Encre Noire by Lalique is not exactly evil, but very dark, like walking through a forest at night. There are others in the same line, called Sport and Extreme, but the original version is darker than those.
Posting before this devolves into a thread about either Arko or The Veg
Barrister and Mann - Hallows
Some may describe the scent as "chocolate covered rot".

fwiw i love the smell of arko. smells like incense to me.
Smells like Band-Aids . . . which is kind of an evil thing to perpetrate on a cologne consumer.

Seriously? To me, it smells like (and looks like) wet cement. Haha
Southern Witchcrafts belongs in this discussion. I like Autumn Ash.
I get vetiver with cypress, musk, damp earth and some type of wood. Suitable for a cool night in October or November with rain in the forecast. Lonely, sombre. Reading Edgar Allan Poe stories.
Band-aids and cement? You guys are joking, I hope.
Maybe my nose is wired differently...

Take up cigar smoking in confined places like your car. Practice scowling at people.
It works for me...

Check out reviews on Chiseled Face 'Midnight Stag' or B&M 'Leviathan'
Nocturne (Zingari Mann/B&M). The label indicates "apple, leaves, woodsmoke." Off the puck I get a heavy dose of yeast, musty cheese, and woodsmoke. Lathering it up releases a very faint apple smell.
Mazzolari Lui always smelled evil to me. Great scent. Just seems dark.
That sounds wonderful. Pour me a pint.
Lots of folks are ecstatic over Encre Noire; it can be a bit polarizing, though. I do think you gave a good answer here for a spook scent, as this fragrance has been described as what Count Dracula (or Chocula) would wear.
If it's any consolation, I do kind of like Encre Noire Sport.
The Sport is actually the one I ended up with after sampling some of the others, since it seemed more versatile. It's a lighter version with a grapefruit+bergamot top end. I like the vetiver in it. It seems to last longer, too. I would not call this a Sport fragrance, though, so the name doesn't quite fit. I'm having trouble imagining Edgar Allan Poe in a tracksuit.
I would agree with Encre Noir, but a very similar and even more evil fragrance is Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum. It is also a cedar bomb. Just the smallest spray of Le Male Le Parfum will kill your whole street and the toxicity lingers for longer than an anthrax outbreak. I sprayed it on my wrist once, in 2021, and it still smells the same as when it was fresh. My wife has been sleeping in a different room ever since, because these strong cedar scents cause her nasal passage to block and she cannot breathe at all. I wish I was exaggerating.
Incidentally, if you like this type of cedar / pencil shaving scent then Chanel Sycomore (Les Exclusifs collection) is easily the best one I’ve found.
Easy.
So strong that some of the Zoologist retailers make customers sample it outside. Bloody, smoky, dirty, etc. doesn’t smell BAD, per se, but it is completely animale and one of the strongest fragrances I have ever had the displeasure to sample.
