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.

While its moderate sillage keeps it from being too overpowering, the unique and somewhat challenging opening might not suit all office environments. Its sensual and refined character makes it perfect for dates and formal events, though it's still distinctive enough for a stylish casual outing.

About

La Treizieme Heure XIII opens with an almost medicinal, ash-tray smokiness from birch tar and mate, alongside a tart bergamot. This challenging start quickly evolves, revealing a sophisticated, clean leather that's more suede than raw hide. As it settles, an earthy patchouli emerges, softened by a subtle, dry vanilla, creating a uniquely refined and contemplative aroma.
