Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it unsuitable for an office environment, but perfect for a bold statement on a date or a special evening. While too intense for active wear, its rich character lends itself well to formal occasions in colder weather. Several users noted its power makes it best for nights out.
