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

Antara opens with an intriguing burst of blueberry and rich cognac, setting a sweet yet slightly boozy tone. As it warms, the heart reveals indulgent notes of dark chocolate and sweet, sticky caramel, layered with beeswax and exotic dates, creating a mouthwatering sweetness. The base is where the magic happens, featuring a robust blend of cedar, luxurious oud, and the earthy richness of oakmoss, all rounded out by the warm embrace of vanilla and the intricate depth of ambergris. This fragrance exudes an inviting warmth that invites intrigue with its animalic nuances and musky undertones.
