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 Formal

With its eternal longevity and strong sillage, Antique Oak is best suited for evenings and formal events where its powerful presence can shine. It's too commanding for office wear and far too heavy for casual or sport settings, but perfect for making a sophisticated statement on a date or formal occasion.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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

Antique Oak plunges you into a rich, dark forest with an immediate hit of dense, smoky oud and robust leather. The scent evolves, revealing the dry, earthy tones of papyrus and deep oakmoss, woven with a hint of warm saffron that adds an intriguing, almost maple-like sweetness. It settles into a luxurious base of styrax and amberwood, creating a long-lasting, sophisticated aroma that evokes ancient, well-worn timber and hidden depths.
