Indie Perfume That Shouldn’t Work (But Does)
Rotting Turtle is a small, slightly unhinged fragrance studio making niche perfumes in small batches. Expect bold ideas, wearable blends, and names that make your mother frown. If you came for forgettable, you’re in the wrong swamp.
Why Rotting Turtle?
- Original, indie formulations: Not clones—our own weirdly beautiful ideas.
- Small-batch quality: Tight control over materials and maceration for a consistent, long-lasting wear.
- Wearable weird: Experimental openings, addictive drydowns. Art that fits real life.
- Transparent notes & sizing: Clear pyramids, honest descriptions, pocket-friendly samples.
Our Not-So-Serious Origin Story
Rotting Turtle started as a dare: make fun perfume that still smells incredible. We mix classic perfumery with a punk-rock attitude, balancing top-tier aroma materials with a refusal to be boring. The result? Memorable openings. Addictive drydowns. Zero apologies.
People Are Talking (Against Their Will)
- “Somehow both weird and sexy. 10/10 would confuse coworkers again.”
- “Opens like a dare, dries down like a hug.”
- “I bought it for the name. I kept it for the compliments.”
