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.

Given its eternal longevity and strong sillage, Asrar is best reserved for occasions where it can truly shine without overpowering. It's too potent for the office or sport, but perfect for dates and formal events where its richness will be appreciated, and it works surprisingly well casually too.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Asrar opens with a vibrant, almost gourmand kick of spicy notes and saffron, immediately setting a rich, exotic tone. This quickly mellows into a heart of deep musk and warm amber, providing a plush, inviting core. The journey concludes with a profoundly smooth and resonant base of woody notes, sandalwood, and a perfectly balanced oud, ensuring a lasting and sophisticated trail.
