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.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Rasputin suits the unhurried intensity of a conversation that stretches late into the evening. Clove and cardamom give its dark chocolate and incense a dry, spicy edge: a substantial presence that feels more at home with heavy fabrics and close attention than casual bustle.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing, allowing the spices, incense and oud to unfold before adding more. Cooler weather is a natural match for this dense profile; in warm conditions or close quarters, keep application light so the smoky, musky base does not dominate.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to dark woody fragrances with assertive spice, incense and leather textures. The chocolate and tonka offer a warmer counterweight, making Rasputin worth exploring if you enjoy richness without wanting a purely sweet gourmand.
Release year
2019 (or 2015)
The nose
Sfean J.A., SweDoft’s founder and perfumer, created Rasputin. His work anchors the house’s emphasis on handmade fragrances and individual creative concepts; here, that approach takes a dark, spice-laden direction built around incense and oud.
SweDoft’s story
SweDoft is a founder-led house focused on handmade perfumery and distinctive compositions. Its artisanal identity leaves room for unconventional creation stories, with Rasputin bringing historical-character imagery and experimental maturation into that approach.
Rasputin’s concept
Rasputin interprets its namesake’s mysterious, commanding persona rather than recreating a fragrance he wore. SweDoft describes lowering the perfume into the Öresund Strait for 90 days after conventional blending proved unsatisfactory. The underwater process forms part of the fragrance’s creation story; its claimed benefits from cold and pressure have not been independently established.
Extra info
The unusual 90-day underwater maturation is central to SweDoft’s account of Rasputin’s production. The perfume contains natural Indian oud, and its historical name signals a character study rather than a claim that Rasputin himself wore the scent.
