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.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Myroxylon Balsamum Pereirae Balsam Extract from Peru Balsam

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 an intoxicating hit of dark cherry liqueur, rich and juicy, softened by a comforting almond sweetness. The heart introduces a subtle floral sophistication with rose and jasmine, before settling into a warm, balsamic embrace of tonka bean and Peru balsam, leaving a luxurious, slightly smoky trail. It's a gourmand sensation that walks the line between delicious and decadent.
