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

Cacao and ginger over tonka, cashmere wood and leather is cold-weather material - this is an autumn and winter scent, and it wears best when the air is sharp enough to carry the warm spice without cloying. The citrus and tea up top stop it feeling stuffy indoors, but in summer heat the cacao-leather base turns dense fast.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and sophisticated gourmand profile make it suitable for a range of occasions, from office wear to more formal events. The warmth of cacao and tonka lends itself well to evening dates and relaxed casual settings, but it's definitely not one for the gym.

About

It kicks off with a bright, zesty hit of bergamot and orange, softened by a delicate tea note. Then it deepens into a comforting blend of rich cacao and earthy iris, spiced up with a hint of ginger. The dry down is all plush cashmere wood, supple leather, and a warm, inviting tonka bean sweetness. It's a proper grown-up gourmand, never cloying, always refined.
