Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual settings where you don't want to overwhelm. It's too subtle for a formal event where you want to make an impact, and not fresh enough for sport.

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.

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Musc Encense opens with a distinctive, almost piquant green freshness, driven by an aromatic clary sage that's both herbaceous and slightly sharp. As it settles, a clean, almost soapy musk emerges, softened by a touch of jasmine. The gentle wisp of incense and a hint of tonka bean in the base add a sophisticated, warm depth without ever overpowering the delicate musk, creating a skin-close, ethereal aura.
