#crash themed scent is of course like. three musks and motor oil. and vetiver. and a leather note. obviously. and maybe some ginger...

realistically, Rust Cohle would smell like cigarette smoke and probably some boring default masculine soap that he buys because it's the first thing on the shelf, like Irish Spring or some shit. Irish Spring and smoke and smoke and SMOKE and depending on where he is on his personal journey, booze. also sweat because that man is sad and wet a lot of the time.

however, my pitch for a Rust Cohle themed perfume would be one of those black phoenix alchemy lab style descriptions that goes on for paragraphs and paragraphs, quotes various poems and literature, and at the end says something like: "a bad taste in your mouth: aluminum and ash." there are no scent notes listed. nobody knows what it's supposed to smell like. it's always sold out anyway.
