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:
Winter
Also Works:
Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and sweet, warm spicy profile make it suitable for casual wear and dates, but less so for formal settings. The warm accords and moderate longevity mean it's unlikely to be worn for sport, and won't overwhelm an office, yet it isn't particularly fresh.

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.

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 a fleeting burst of crisp apple and zesty pomelo, lightly dusted with pink pepper, before melting into a heart of rich cashmere wood, warm nutmeg, and comforting cinnamon. The journey concludes on a silky base of creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and smooth sandalwood, creating a familiar, inviting warmth that's perfect for colder days. It's a sweet, spicy embrace with a subtle woody backbone.
