Dries Van Noten’s Bitter Splash is a sharp and sophisticated take on citrus. Tart grapefruit zest meets vegetal leather, creating a contrast that feels effortless yet deliberate. Powdery iris and smoky vetiver round out the edges, adding an earthy softness that deepens as it settles. Subtle hints of green mandarin and white musk enhance its crispness, while a whisper of cedarwood lingers in the background. The result is textured, fresh, and quietly bold.
Housed in a weighty glass bottle, Bitter Splash’s design reflects its duality—powder pink glass, brushed metal, and a gold brocade-inspired accent nod to both softness and structure. This eau de parfum joins Dries Van Noten’s growing collection of distinctive scents, each crafted with the same artistry found in the brand’s fashion.
Bitter Splash is priced at $290 and available for purchase at Dries Van Noten.
