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

With its nuclear projection and longevity, Resala is too potent for most office environments, risking irritation. It shines brightest on dates and formal occasions where its luxurious, dramatic character can be appreciated. Casual wear is generally too much, and it's certainly not fit for sport.

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.

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

Imagine indulging in rich, dark chocolate while wrapped in a luxurious rose oud. Resala kicks off with a potent saffron and rose blend, quickly joined by an intense wave of dark chocolate and warm vanilla. Woody nuances and a deep, slightly medicinal oud underscore the sweetness, creating a complex, opulent aroma that lingers for days. You'll be craving more of this sticky sweet sophistication.
