Creosote EDP Sold Out. Sign up for access to the next drop of this scent.
Fresh and cooling, Creosote opens with herbal green brightness before revealing unexpected smoky leather facets and subtle aquatic notes. It captures the freshness of rain hitting the Sonoran Desert—that moment when everything transforms from heat to fresh coolness.
Sage and desert willow add botanical depth, while a mineral-like freshness evokes the unique soil of the Sonoran Desert's unique soil. The accord falls somewhere between an aromatic fougère, a marine scent, and a leather fragrance.
Lingering with quiet confidence–it's a fresh, cooling presence you return to throughout the day. It works beautifully whether you're at work or out with friends. This is probably our most versatile fragrance.
Creosote was the very first accord I ever attempted as a beginning perfumer—and it failed spectacularly. Swampy, dank, nothing like the fresh miracle of desert rain I was trying to capture.
But I grew up here in the Sonoran Desert, and that scent has been part of my life since childhood. I have memories of walking barefoot through channels of runoff after summer monsoons, as the air dropped 20 degrees and the whole landscape transformed. So I had to keep trying
For sixteen years, every time I evaluated a new material, I wondered if it could be the missing piece. The creosote bush itself is tricky—it doesn't smell particularly "natural." There are green, leafy notes, sure, but also guaiacol (the same smoky note in leather accords), hints of turpentine and tar, plus an aquatic freshness when you crush the leaves.
After all this time, I've settled on this version—not a photorealistic recreation, but the essence of what desert rain actually feels like.

Wasn't sure what to expect, and I really love this scent as a daily wear option. Everything I've tried from Fzotic has been wonderful, and Creosote is no exception and just lovely. Multiple comments that it is a wonderful fragrance!

Creosote is Lovely
Since I love absolutely everything about this company and the products, it was an easy decision to order the Creosote direct drop. I first discovered Bruno's fragrances at the Anchorage Museum in 2018 and have been ordering ever since. Trying Bruno's different fragrances has expanded my appreciation for small batch perfumes and I have said goodbye to department store fragrances. I have shared with many others who enjoy them also. Can't count how many times I get asked "What perfume are you wearing?" Also love the Sunday Brunotes!

Refreshing!
This fragrance really does capture the essence of rain in the desert. I'm so glad I acted quick and was able to add this bottle to my collection.
