Borntostandout Drunk Maple EDP

Description

Drunk Maple is Borntostandout doing what Borntostandout does best: taking a familiar comfort, pancakes drenched in maple syrup, and dosing it until it turns into something a little dangerous. Composed by perfumer Alex Lee and released in 2024, this eau de parfum opens with pink pepper, davana, and aged rum before sinking into a thick pour of maple syrup and coffee resinoid, then settling on a base of vanilla, creamy sandalwood, benzoin, and orcanox. It's gourmand, but not innocent, more late-night bar than breakfast table. If you love bold, boozy sweetness that lingers, this is your fragrance; if you're precious about "clean" or delicate scents, sample it first.

Scent Character

• Gourmand & Sweet: 38% (maple syrup, coffee resinoid, vanilla)
• Woody & Ambery: 30% (creamy sandalwood, benzoin, orcanox)
• Boozy: 20% (aged rum)
• Spicy: 12% (pink pepper, davana)

Translation: a shot of dark rum poured over a stack of vanilla-maple pancakes, finished with a crack of black pepper.

Performance

Borntostandout builds its core Eau de Parfum line at a bold 30–40% fragrance concentration, and Drunk Maple wears that way: expect strong, above-average longevity (7+ hours on skin) and moderate sillage that projects for the first hour or two before settling in close. Reviewers are split on the dry-down: some get pure maple-rum indulgence, others find the coffee resinoid reads darker and boozier than sweet. Sample first if you're a maple purist.

Best Occasions & Season

Built for fall and winter, and for after dark: a night out, an evening in good company, or any low-key occasion where a little indulgence is welcome.

Eau de Parfum, built at Borntostandout's house-standard 30–40% fragrance concentration. Composed by Alex Lee for Borntostandout, the Seoul-founded niche house started by Jun Lim in 2020. Released 2024.

FAQ

Is Drunk Maple by Borntostandout unisex?
Yes. Borntostandout designs Drunk Maple as a unisex fragrance built around rum, maple syrup, and warm woods rather than gendered marketing.

Does Drunk Maple smell like real maple syrup?
It leans more boozy-gourmand than pure breakfast syrup: expect maple syrup and coffee resinoid layered with aged rum and warm woods, not a literal pancake accord.

How long does Drunk Maple last?
Borntostandout's Eau de Parfum concentration (30–40%) gives it strong average longevity, generally 7+ hours, with sillage that's noticeable up close for the first hour or two before it settles into a skin scent.

Is Venba's Drunk Maple authentic?
Yes. Every bottle and sample we sell is 100% genuine, never diluted.
