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:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on woody, aromatic and warm spicy - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Date Formal

Its moderate projection and well-balanced woody, aromatic profile make it perfectly suitable for an office environment or casual wear without being overpowering. While pleasant, it might lack the 'wow' factor some prefer for a formal event or a hot date.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Opens with an intriguing, warm spice hit of pepper and cardamom, brightened by a hint of elemi. The heart introduces a surprising crispness from apple, balanced by the green earthiness of geranium and nagarmotha. As it settles, it smooths into a comforting medley of creamy sandalwood, soft cashmere wood, and clean musk, grounded by a hint of cedar. It's a sophisticated woody journey from start to finish.
