Description Inspired by Luca Guadagnino's visceral and acutely observed film, we selected this fragrance to reflect our fascination with desire as a force of disruption. Just as Challengers traces the unraveling of three lives bound by competition, ambition, and unresolved longing, the fragrance explores the tension between control and surrender — the charged space where identity is tested and emotion refuses to be contained.

The fragrance opens with a sharp, luminous burst of bergamot, orange, mandarin, and lemon, edged with the unexpected bite of rhubarb and the cool intrigue of modern woods. At its heart, magnolia and violet are softened by the fleeting sweetness of raspberry and white florals, grounded by an aquatic stillness that breathes beneath the surface. The dry-down settles into something enduring and deeply human: Virginia cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, amber, and musk — roots that hold, even when everything else is in motion.

» NEVER CAME WITH THE GOAL TO WIN, BUT TO FIND THE SPARK INSIDE. BERGAMOT SHARP LIKE CLARITY CUTTING THROUGH THE FOG OF DOUBT AND PRIDE. COMPETITION'S BITTER RHUBARB TASTE, YOUNG HEARTS TWISTED IN THE FIGHT, CHASING MORE THAN TROPHIES—SEARCHING FOR SELF IN THE FADING LIGHT. MAGNOLIA BLOOMS FRAGILE, IDENTITY UNFOLDING SLOW, RASPBERRY MOMENTS FLASH LIKE HOPE BENEATH THE PRESSURE'S HEAVY FLOW. AQUATIC SILENCE DRIFTS—COLD AND DISTANT IN THE CHAOS OF THE RACE. ROOTS OF CEDAR HOLD STRONG WHERE THE FOUNDATION'S BARELY KNOWN. « - Mark Buxton

Henry X. ★★★★★ Aug 17, 2026

The citrus opening is so sharp and juicy—that Brazilian orange and mandarin hit immediately—but then the rhubarb and violet soften it into something weird and lovely. Lasts a solid six hours on my skin, which surprised me for a fresh scent.

Emma ★★★★☆ Aug 22, 2026

The citrus opening is bright and zesty, but the woods and rhubarb keep it from feeling like a typical summer scent. I do wish the magnolia came through a bit stronger on my skin, though it lasts a solid six hours.

Joseph ★★★★☆ Aug 21, 2026

That rhubarb note is what sold me—it cuts through the citrus and keeps things interesting for a few hours. The dry-down to the woods and magnolia is subtle but nice, though I wish the violet showed up a bit more on my skin.
