Composed by Anne-Sophie Behagel
Anxiety here is not treated with whispers and lavender. ART BRÜT German Angst breaks through dark thoughts with citrus, juniper, and peppermint, like a sudden impulse to simply leave the space.
Bergamot, mandarin, and pink pepper open the extrait brightly and sharply. The citrus is not soft; it acts like a quick cut through mental fog.
Juniper essence, fig, elemi, and peppermint create a green, resinous heart. Peppermint cools, juniper is dry and aromatic, and fig adds a softer herbal fullness.
Anne-Sophie Behagel builds the composition around moving out of anxiety, not around beautifying it. Freshness serves as escape energy, not as a calm backdrop.
Patchouli essence, cashmeran wood, modern woods, and animalic notes later bring the fragrance down to a darker base. Anxiety doesn't turn into sweetness; it only loses its initial sharpness.
The perfume is vegan, cruelty-free, and CITES compliant. Its signature is peppermint and juniper breaking through patchouli, wood, and animalic shadow — fear transformed into the first step towards the exit.
