For lovers of ball sports
and those who don’t play by the rules
Orange blossom absolute, leather and musk. A scent that flouts perfumery convention (no top or middle notes) - made solely of base notes.
Defies authority. Doesn’t conform. Plays for meaning, not for score. Leads from own path, with tender heart. Not here for likes. Not here for follows. Works Hard. Plays Harder. Hard to catch. Harder to forget.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close quarters and a strong personal radius: the kind of fragrance that reads as presence before it reads as prettiness. It suits a wearer who wants a rough-edged, self-possessed trail rather than a polished halo.
How to wear
Best worn in cooler weather or at night, when its base-note structure can unfold without feeling too heavy. Apply sparingly at first; the leather, oud and labdanum will sit close to the skin before pushing out a dry, animalic trail that lasts.
Who it’s for
For those who like leathery, woody, slightly feral fragrances with a modern niche attitude. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy indole, cypress and oud, and who prefer scent with texture, darkness and a rebellious streak.

Raconteur’s story
The Raconteur builds fragrances as statements of independence: gender-neutral, functional and handmade in Australia, with a clear taste for compositions that reject convention and lean into character over polish.
Foul Play’s concept
Released in 2024, Foul Play was conceived as a deliberate break from perfumery structure, using only base notes to create a scent that feels dense, persistent and unconventional. Its concept is framed around defiance, with a tender core beneath the leather, musk and indolic bite.
Extra info
Foul Play is built without top or heart notes, relying entirely on base materials for its structure. It is handmade in Australia and sold in a 50ml format.
