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.

About

Black Essential Charm opens with a vibrant, zingy burst of grapefruit and ginger, sharpened by a clean, aromatic cardamom. This energising start quickly develops into a sophisticated heart of creamy sandalwood spiced with the subtle warmth of star anise and a hint of fresh geranium. As it dries down, the fragrance unveils a smooth leather, grounded by an earthy patchouli and a comforting, sweet tonka bean, bringing a refined warmth to the overall blend.
