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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its warm, smoky profile, make it a decent choice for casual wear and intimate date nights. However, the unique and potentially polarising scent might be too distracting for a formal event or the office.

About

This eau de parfum starts brightly with bergamot and ginger, which add a clean lift and a little heat. The heart turns to palo santo, sandalwood, saffron and jasmine, giving a creamy, spiced wood character. The base is the busiest part, with vanilla, amber, cedar, patchouli, musk, moss, vetiver, labdanum and frankincense all sitting together. The result is a woody, resinous, slightly sweet scent that feels rich and settled, made for hair and skin.
