Perfumer: Alex Lee
Maple syrup. Aged rum. Pure indulgence. This isn't just a scent – it's a decadent escape. Wear it, and see where the night takes you.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent for a late, close room where the air is warm and the conversation has slowed. It reads rich and edible at first, then turns darker and more textured, leaving a boozy, woody trail that feels intimate rather than airy.
How to wear
Best in cool weather and after dark, Drunk Maple has the density to carry in low temperatures without disappearing. Apply lightly at first, as the sweetness and rum can project strongly; one to three sprays is usually enough for a full, lingering effect on skin and fabric.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like gourmand scents with depth, boozy warmth and a slightly smoky, woody finish. It suits people drawn to bold niche fragrances that feel indulgent, textured and a little unruly rather than polished or transparent.

The nose
Alex Lee is the perfumer behind Drunk Maple, and the fragrance fits his taste for striking, modern compositions that lean into contrast and personality. Here, he builds a gourmand around maple syrup and rum, then sharpens it with coffee, davana and a woody base so the sweetness never feels flat. His work for BORNTOSTANDOUT reflects the house’s appetite for unconventional, high-impact scents with a distinctive edge. Drunk Maple shows that approach clearly: it is indulgent and edible at first glance, but structured with enough resin, wood and ambered depth to feel more textured than purely sugary.
Collaborators
Jun Lim, BORNTOSTANDOUT’s founder, appears to have shaped the fragrance brief and creative direction, working closely with perfumers through open-ended concepts that prioritize originality over trend. That collaborative approach helps explain Drunk Maple’s unapologetically boozy gourmand profile.
BORNTOSTANDOUT’s story
BORNTOSTANDOUT builds its identity around rebellion, bold self-expression and fragrances that push past safe conventions. The house is known for distinctive, statement-making compositions with a quirky, adventurous streak, often balancing wearability with an unmistakable edge.
DRUNK MAPLE’s concept
Drunk Maple was conceived as a decadent escape: maple syrup and aged rum set the tone, while coffee, davana and woody notes add depth and darkness. The imagery around the fragrance leans into candlelight, velvet and molten sweetness, framing it as a scent for charged, indulgent nights rather than quiet minimalism.
Extra info
Drunk Maple is an Eau de Parfum from BORNTOSTANDOUT and is often described as one of the brand’s more decadent, high-impact releases. It pairs maple syrup and rum with coffee, davana and sandalwood, and some retailers note a suede-like or smoky nuance that keeps the sweetness in check.
