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

Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting nature and strong sillage, combined with the rich, warm, and spicy notes, make it too bold for office wear or casual daytime use. It truly shines for special occasions and romantic evenings, particularly in colder weather.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Calligraphy opens with a bright, spicy burst of lemon and cardamom, quickly softened by warm cinnamon. The heart unfurls into a luxurious rose, intertwined with exotic saffron and balsamic myrrh. It settles into a deep, sensual base of musk, amber, and a surprisingly elegant oud, rounded out by earthy patchouli.
