The Thing - Extrait de Parfum

From the twisted imagination (and nose) of perfumer Killian Wells, The Thing by Xyrena is a paradox of extremes—fire and ice, man and monster. Based on John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror masterpiece, this official Cinematic Scent Archive™ adaptation captures the isolated dread of U.S. Outpost #31 with an opening that hits like a blast of cold Antarctic air—clean, sharp, and unnervingly sterile. Beneath the frozen surface, a sinister warmth creeps in. Charred woods and diatomaceous earth conjure the chaos of flamethrowers and dynamite as MacReady fights to destroy something he can’t even define. A waft of scotch whisky cuts through the haze, laced with a hint of fried electrical components from that “cheating bitch” Chess Wizard. Beneath it all is something sweet and familiar—but metallic and alien—like a niche fragrance trying to convince you it’s designer. The Thing is an infectious signature scent that mutates—it’ll have people asking what you’re wearing… or what’s wearing you.
