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.

About

Calicut opens with a lively burst of cardamom and bright bergamot, softened by the pine-like resinous quality of elemi. This quickly settles into a warm, spicy heart where cedar and black pepper intertwine with the comforting earthiness of nutmeg. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of vetiver, moss, and patchouli, grounding the fragrance with a subtle, musky depth that evokes ancient spice routes without feeling dated.
