E-5 carbon / bite

A restless fragrance. Tension held just long enough to become form.
There is no stillness here, only friction, momentum, and a kind of beauty that resists being softened. Before it’s a perfume, it’s conflict — sharp-edged and sweet-laced, born from contrast, not calm. Like all scents in the E-motional collection by aaa/unbranded®, it’s shaped by time and intention. But in this case, time doesn’t slow, it simmers.
It pulses beneath the surface, forging something that doesn’t want to be finished too soon. Each layer speaks with urgency: spice that sparks, sweetness that twists, edges that don’t smooth out entirely. This is not harmony. It’s growth, caught mid-change.

E-5 carbon captures the essence of adolescence, a moment charged with tension, intensity, and a shifting sense of identity. It opens with a sharp, bold presence, layered with sweet and spicy notes that echo the unexpected warmth of liquorice. A fragrance that holds contrast at its core, raw yet alluring, impulsive yet precise.

Aged for 23 weeks in stainless steel barrels, this fragrance is cold-infused with star anise. A process that preserves the integrity of each note while deepening their tension. It opens with bold, spicy clarity that recalls the bittersweet sharpness of liquorice, then softens unexpectedly into floral, green, and marine-woody tones. A layered structure shaped by contrast: bright and bitter, fresh and unruly, all held in delicate balance.
