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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional potency and beast-mode sillage make it unsuitable for an office environment, but perfect for date nights or formal events where you want to make a statement. The opulent, warm spicy, and amber accords shine in these settings.

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

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Opens with an immediate hit of fiery Sichuan pepper and fragrant bay leaf, softened by an earthy incense. The heart unfolds into a rich, green patchouli and chypre blend, creating an almost leathery nuance. It eventually settles into a grand, golden amber base, resinous labdanum, and creamy sandalwood, with hints of smoke and ancient woods.
