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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting, strong sillage makes it too much for an office setting, potentially overwhelming colleagues. However, its bold, luxurious nature makes it an excellent choice for formal events and dates, where its complexity can be appreciated. It's also suitable for casual wear if applied sparingly, especially for evening outings.

About

Orange, cardamom, jasmin sambac, pink pepper and bergamot open with a spiced, floral brightness. The heart brings rose, Grasse rose absolute, clove, frangipani, magnolia and tonka bean, a lush and slightly sweet floral spice. The base is the main event: Indian oud, oud, birch tar, vanilla, musk, civet and tolu balsam. Expect a smoky, resinous, animalic and sweet oud with lots of depth. It is heavy and opulent, best for cool weather.
