Sorce Poisonous Roots

Product Overview

Poisonous Roots by Sorce is a dark floral gourmand inspired by the historic lore surrounding powerful women whose knowledge of plants could be revered as healing wisdom or feared as something far more dangerous.

The fragrance explores the narrow boundary between tincture and potion, drawing on imagery of medicinal botanicals, nightshade vines and ancient plant knowledge. Its story centres on independence, ambition and the mystery surrounding women whose understanding of the natural world gave them unusual power.

White flowers, tea, incense and dark resins give Poisonous Roots a shadowy character, balancing comfort with something distinctly more mysterious and intoxicating.

What Does Poisonous Roots Smell Like?

Poisonous Roots opens with rich jasmine absolute, its heady white floral character immediately softened by a steaming milky tea accord. The tea brings a creamy, comforting quality that contrasts with the intensity of the jasmine.

Incense emerges through the heart, introducing a smoky, resinous veil and shifting the fragrance into darker territory.

As it dries down, vanilla absolute adds deep, smooth sweetness while black amber creates a warm, balsamic foundation. The result is a dark floral gourmand where creamy jasmine tea gradually dissolves into smoky incense, rich vanilla and shadowy amber.

When to Wear Poisonous Roots

Poisonous Roots is particularly suited to autumn and winter, when its incense, vanilla and black amber can feel especially rich and atmospheric.

Its combination of heady jasmine, creamy tea and smoky resins makes it a compelling choice for evenings, dates and cooler days, particularly for those who enjoy gourmands with a darker, less conventionally sweet character.
