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
Also Works:
Spring

Built on amber, warm spicy and rose - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong oud, smoky, and amber accords, this isn't an office-friendly scent. It's best reserved for evening events where its bold character can shine without overwhelming others, making it ideal for dates and formal occasions.

About

Opens with a rich, smoky burst of oud, immediately followed by the intriguing tartness of raspberry, an unusual but brilliant counterpoint. This quickly deepens into a floral heart of classic, rich rose, softened by the resinous sweetness of benzoin. The dry down is immense: a warm, almost animalic amberwood, spiced with saffron and grounded by a rugged, leathery birch tar that keeps it firmly in statement territory.
