Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend
Topas listed

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Given its intense longevity and strong sillage, Bara is better suited for occasions where it can truly shine without overwhelming, like date nights or casual evenings. It's a bit too dominant for the office and not formal enough for black-tie events, but perfect for creating a warm, inviting aura.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Bara kicks off with a spirited shot of cognac, immediately setting a lavish, boozy tone. This quickly mellows into a heart of rich oak, warm cinnamon, and creamy tonka bean, adding depth and a comforting spice. The base settles into a luscious blend of praline and vanilla, providing a gourmand sweetness, all grounded by smooth sandalwood. It's winter in a bottle, a scent that envelops you like a cashmere jumper.
