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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its warm, spicy, and vanilla-heavy profile makes it suitable for casual wear and dates, as some reviewers explicitly noted getting compliments when wearing it. While some found it acceptable for an industrial work environment, its potential for strong sillage and 'thickness' might make it less ideal for a typical office setting.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

It kicks off with an aromatic blend of lavender and basil, spiced up with a distinct star anise. The heart introduces a creamy coffee nuance, enriched by warm caraway and a touch of heliotrope, leading into a smooth, slightly powdery vanilla and tonka bean base. Cedar and patchouli give it a subtle, grounded finish.
