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.

With its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, this scent is a powerful statement. It's too strong for an office setting and too luxurious for sport, but shines on dates and formal occasions where its unique character can truly make an impression. It's a bit much for casual wear, but some might enjoy its opulent vibe.

About

The opening is goji berry, date, saffron and blood mandarin, a juicy, sweet and slightly spicy burst. The heart brings osmanthus, apple blossom and peony, adding a soft, fruity floral lightness. The base is ambergris and oriental woods, giving warmth and a smooth, salty-woody finish. It moves from vivid fruit to a gentle, rounded base and feels distinctive, rich and a little exotic.
