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.

Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its intense floral nature, high concentration, and reported strong sillage, this leans heavily towards evenings and special events rather than the office. Many reviews highlight its 'expensive feeling' and 'complex' nature, making it ideal for dates and formal occasions where impact is desired.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Chasing the Dragon Euphoric unfurls with a rich, heady blend of yellow and white florals, dominated by the creamy indulgence of ylang-ylang and delicate narcissus. A sensual heart of iris and patchouli intertwines with exotic opium and warm cinnamon, creating an alluring depth. The drydown settles into a luxurious base of amber, sandalwood, and musk, imbued with hints of cacao and vanilla, leaving a long-lasting, sophisticated trail.
