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.

About

This limited edition lists only three notes: immortelle, teak and pepper. Pepper gives a dry, warm spice, immortelle adds a herbal, slightly honeyed and hay-like depth, and teak provides a smooth, dry woodiness. With so few notes there is no clear opening and base to follow, so it wears as one dry, spicy and woody impression. It is a straightforward, masculine woody-spicy scent.
