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 autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent performance and rich rose and oud accords make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear, where it would overwhelm. However, its luxurious and bold character is perfectly suited for formal events and romantic evenings, leaving a lasting, memorable impression.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Carbon Sapphire opens with a bold, floral flourish of Bulgarian rose and geranium, underpinned by the woody elegance of rosewood. As it develops, a rich heart of Rose de Mai and warm saffron takes centre stage, leading into a deep, earthy drydown. This luxurious fragrance settles into a complex blend of powerful oud, soft amber, and various smoky woods like guaiac and cypriol, creating a truly opulent and long-lasting experience.
