BeauFort London THE GRUDGE Eau de Parfum

The Alchemy of Time, Tide + Memory

BeauFort London THE GRUDGE Eau de Parfum is a fragrance that captures the raw force of nature and the mysterious poetry of the elements. Inspired by the “white gold” – ambergris – that occasionally washes up on the rugged Scottish shores, this composition tells a story of transformation, patience, and the unexpected beauty found in decay. THE GRUDGE is an olfactory metaphor for the alchemy of presence, forged by the relentless passage of time and tide, distilled into a single bottle.

The Opening – Bitter Herbs + Smoky Clarity

The fragrance begins with an uncompromising intensity. Wormwood offers its green, bitter clarity, conjuring wild coastlines and bracing winds. Incense and copal resin rise like smoke in a chapel, adding a spiritual, almost ghostly depth. This opening is both elegant and brutal – a deliberate refusal to please, demanding full attention from the very first moment.

The Heart – Sea, Earth + Hidden Depths

At the heart of THE GRUDGE lies the essence of the ocean itself. Black tea adds earthy bitterness and contemplative stillness, while seaweed brings mineral, salty facets that recall waves breaking on jagged rocks. Calamus root contributes a spicy, vegetal dimension, grounding the maritime freshness with something darker, more primal. This stage is like walking through a storm, where salt, earth, and air collide in relentless motion.

The Base – Ambergris + the Alchemy of Eternity

The base reveals the soul of the fragrance: ambergris. This rare material, aged by the ocean and polished by time, brings animalic warmth, saline depth, and a shimmering sense of eternity. Tobacco lends a smoky sweetness, oud deepens the darkness with its balsamic gravitas, while musk adds intimacy. Oakmoss and labdanum give an earthy, resinous anchor, ensuring that the fragrance lingers like the echo of waves against stone. Together they create a foundation that is raw, refined, and unforgettable.

Character – Elegant, Brutal, Raw

THE GRUDGE does not flatter; it confronts. Its character is elegant in structure, brutal in execution, and raw in impression. This is not a polite fragrance but a statement – one that demands courage from its wearer and offers power in return. A truly remarkable niche fragrance, it redefines what modern perfumery can be.

The Perfumer – Euan McCall

THE GRUDGE was created by Euan McCall, the Scottish perfumer known for his bold, unconventional approach. McCall is also the founder of Jorum Studio in Edinburgh, where he crafts poetic, experimental niche fragrances that challenge tradition and ignite emotion.
