Cardamom, patchouli, cinnamon, cloves, Mexican chocolate, incense and musk. SweDoft uses the richest and finest ingredients to get the perfect blend. The juice also contains one of the best varieties of natural Indian oud.
Even with this unique collection of ingredients, SweDoft were still not satisfied with the results of traditional blending.
So they decided to do something unusual, while referencing the final part of Rasputin's story. They dropped the container with the perfume juice to the bottom of the Oresund Strait.
After 90 days, the water pressure in the dark, glacial sea produced unique results. The ingredients had flawlessly combined to fuse the formula.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and low light, where smoke, leather and spice can move slowly and leave a deliberate trail. It suits a composed, self-possessed presence: someone entering a room with quiet force rather than noise.
How to wear
Best in cool weather and evening air, where its incense, oud and leather can open without feeling heavy. One or two sprays are enough; the scent is dense and likely to project strongly, with a warm, smoky drydown that lingers well on fabric and skin.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like dark, resinous, masculine fragrances with spice, smoke and oud at the center. It will appeal to those drawn to bold niche scents with a textured, slightly exotic profile and a strong sense of character.

The nose
Sfean J.A. is the founder and nose behind SweDoft, a Swedish niche house built around handmade, low-volume perfumery and strong storytelling. His work on Rasputin reflects a taste for oud, spice and dark, dominant compositions with a polished, custom-made feel. Rasputin sits well within that approach: a woody-spicy structure with incense, leather and musks that aims for depth rather than brightness. The fragrance shows the kind of dense, atmospheric style associated with perfumers who work closely with raw materials and let the composition unfold with weight and texture.
SweDoft’s story
SweDoft presents itself as a handmade niche house focused on fine ingredients, small-scale production and narrative-driven compositions. The brand’s identity leans toward rich, assertive fragrances with a bespoke feel, often built around oud, spice and resinous woods rather than easy crowd-pleasing freshness.
Rasputin’s concept
Rasputin was created as a tribute to the enigmatic Russian figure and his dramatic legacy, with the brand framing it as a reimagined legend. Its most unusual chapter is the reported 90-day aging of the perfume container at the bottom of the Öresund Strait, a symbolic gesture meant to echo Rasputin’s final story and intensify the blend under pressure and cold water.
Extra info
Rasputin is SweDoft’s best-known fragrance and is often described as the house bestseller. The brand also highlights an unusual maturation method: the perfume was reportedly aged for 90 days in a container at the bottom of the Öresund Strait.
