"I had these obsessive desires and thoughts that I tried to control, but I couldn't. I was completely possessed. I killed not because I was angry with them, not because I hated them, but because I wanted to keep them with me, and as my obsession grew, I kept body parts like skulls and skeletons."
Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer killed seventeen men.
He lured them in calmly and gently, then drugged them, deprived them of their lives, preserved them.
Some he drew, others he photographed. He tried to keep them forever.
In court, he declared: "I didn't act out of hate."
He said he did it out of love—out of the uncontrollable need to possess, to not be abandoned, to keep what would otherwise vanish.
In that obsession, something paranormal was born: the coexistence of two presences in the same body, two inseparable and warring natures.
It is in this suspended space that Jeffrey is born, the second fragrance in the world dedicated to a serial killer and the second installment in Spiritica's Crime Collection.
A perfume that explores the double, the divided mind, the tension between light and darkness.
The composition is the result of a collaborative effort.
In addition to founder Daniele Muratori Caputo, noses Paolo Cerizza and Lorenzo Orlandi Berti collaborated, helping to build a complex and disturbing olfactory balance, in which coldness and sweetness alternate like states of mind.
The opening is sharp, cold, almost clinical: iced beer, popper accord, white orange, live yeast, acidic aldehydes.
It is the smell of everyday life cracking, of the clean surface hiding the abyss.
The heart is a descent into memory: dirty carpet, cloves, coagulated blood, human sweat, a sharp blade.
Scents that remain suspended in the air like presences, like imprints of the paranormal, like residues of a mind that no longer distinguishes between dream and reality.
The drydown is sweet, oppressive, and disturbing: molten plastic, a damp cellar, amber, birch, and vetiver.
It's the final caress, the scent of possession and dependence.
Love that doesn't liberate, that holds, that wants to survive even beyond the end.
Special mention also goes to the work of Lorenzo (and his team) at Only the Dreamers, who created a one-of-a-kind cap, flocked and then lasered, a truly unique process that mimics the carpet in Jeffrey's apartment.
Jeffrey is an extreme olfactory masterpiece.
A tale of attraction and annihilation, of tenderness and madness.
A perfume that doesn't simply evoke: it lingers, breathes, and takes possession.
It's not a commercial commodity.
It is an artistic creation, free and conscious, that uses the language of perfume as a means of narration and introspection.
Like a film or a book, Jeffrey narrates, provokes, and invites reflection.
It is a wearable work of art, a fragment of disturbed and real humanity, transformed into a sensorial experience.
For the historical and conceptual construction of this fragrance, the founder also relied on the consultancy of Daniela Cavallo, a law graduate and criminologist, who helped outline the behavioral profile of the offender and the narrative dimension of the project.
As she herself states:
"The perfume becomes a dialogue between emotional and narrative stimuli, an artistic work that explores the human soul and its contradictions."
"Dahmer evokes very particular and unconventional notes. It is a narcotic perfume, cold yet capable of evoking, at the same time, a sensation of warmth: a man's embrace."
After his capture, Jeffrey Dahmer pleaded guilty.
He chose to cooperate with the investigation and asked the judge for the death penalty, which was not imposed because it was not foreseen in that state.
