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 strong performance and a heavy, woody oud profile, this scent is ill-suited for the office, often described as 'beast mode'. It's best reserved for cooler weather and formal or date settings, where its rich aroma can make a powerful, intimate statement without overwhelming a casual environment.

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

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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 assertive burst of clove and dark tea, quickly settling into a robust heart of dry sandalwood, cedar, and distinct leather. The base unfurls a potent, non-fecal oud, softened by the rich, warm embrace of vanilla and styrax. It evokes images of ancient wood, smouldering incense, and a touch of spiced sweetness.
