Scent Profile

Composition

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 long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it a bit much for the office, but perfect for dates and evening events where its dark, sensual character can shine. It's a bit too refined for casual wear and certainly not for sport.

About

Deadly Nightshade opens with a heady, sweet violet, quickly joined by a plush, inviting suede. As it settles, a mysterious opium note intertwines, adding an intoxicating, smoky depth. The dry down reveals a warm, earthy patchouli and a rich amber, grounding the floral and leather facets in a seductive, long-lasting embrace.
