- Key notes:
- cardamom
- cloves
- dark musks
- incense
- leather
- oud
- tonka beans
- Aromagroups:

Cardamom, patchouli, cinnamon, cloves, Mexican chocolate, incense and musk. SweDoft uses the richest and finest ingredients to get the perfect blend. The juice also contains one of the best varieties of natural Indian oud.
Even with this unique collection of ingredients, SweDoft were still not satisfied with the results of traditional blending.
So they decided to do something unusual, while referencing the final part of Rasputin's story. They dropped the container with the perfume juice to the bottom of the Oresund Strait.
After 90 days, the water pressure in the dark, glacial sea produced unique results. The ingredients had flawlessly combined to fuse the formula.

A richly evocative fragrance that will carry you away, riding a galloping thoroughbred in the English moor… damp earth, wildflowers, grass trampled by hooves, the smell of the horse’s mane, the heat of its fur…
This richness comes at a price, the price of complexity. In addition to using exceptional ingredients such as narcissus absolute, labdanum absolute and cypriol, PG3.1 is a “drawer” formula, i.e. it contains several unique perfume bases including Ambre 83, Calmode, Animalys and Herbacuore.
The record number of ingredients that compose it make it very hard to copy, and its formula is the longest to weigh in PG's factory.

This summer palace is known today as Sofiero (Sophie-Ro) one of Europe's most beautiful parks.
As you step through the gates of Sofiero, you are enveloped by a calm feeling of happiness as a sea of flowers floods your senses with hundreds of different forms and colours.
The perfume is designed to transport you to this floral paradise on a warm and sunny summer day.
From the park you wander into the palace, where the antique wood panelling emanates nuances of sandalwood and amber, infused with fresh sea air through the open windows.
Let this sumptuous formula transport you to Sofiero.

In the beginning, there was confinement. Arbitrary walls and borders. Then you woke up, and you were no longer locked in a box you didn’t make. Now you’re in a forest temple breathing in the heart-opening smells of sandalwood, spices and violet leaf. No one will contain you ever again.

The primal sap of the forest. The dew-soaked ground releases the smell of damp earth that awakens an animal joy. A soft cloud of oak moss and mushrooms rises. Sandalwood envelops, clary sage enlivens. The benzoin drydown reveals amber and resinous notes, prowling like a wolf.

“Hey Bitch! You smell fucking good.” In Perfume World, that’s what we call a result. Hey Bitch! raises eyebrows with its dissonance between buttery, blowsy orange blossom and tough, bitter leather. Tangy rhubarb at the top snaps its fingers in your face, before dissolving into a blur of suedey iris and milky sandalwood. The dance between bitter and sweet keeps you on your toes throughout, conjuring hints of…what? Photocopier ink? Coffee? For sure it conjures ambered black leather, Bitch!

The drydown is a beautiful array of smoky resins and woody materials with a sweeter edge: labdanum, patchouli and tonka.

In this fantasy of the boudoir, the powdered top note evokes the sophisticated woman who dresses for seduction, and undresses for profit. She is the temptress who awaits her prey in the hotel bar, and leads her lucky victim to unimaginable delights…
