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.

This fragrance is well-suited for evenings and cooler weather due to its warm, amber-spicy profile and moderate but present projection. It's too substantial for sport, but its elegance makes it a solid choice for dates, formal events, and even the office if applied sparingly.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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 a sharp, peppery kick and a zesty lift from bergamot, immediately commanding attention. It then settles into a warmer heart of aromatic lavender and earthy patchouli, creating a smooth and balanced transition. The base is where it truly shines, with rich labdanum and benzoin weaving a balsamic, resinous amber trail that’s both comforting and distinctly refined. Expect a woody-spicy embrace with a hint of powdery sweetness.
