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.

Best For:

Also Works:
Date

Warm Bulb's unique and sometimes challenging character, combined with its intimate sillage, makes it less suitable for formal or professional settings. It shines brightest in casual environments or for personal enjoyment, though some find it cosy enough for a relaxed date.

About

Warm Bulb opens with a surprisingly realistic hit of dusty, peppery electricity, evoking the scent of a hot lightbulb or an old, humming computer. As it settles, the dry paper and subtle tobacco leaf notes emerge, mingling with a soft, powdery immortelle. The base rounds out with a warm, slightly musky vanilla, amber, and a whisper of sandalwood, creating a curious, almost unsettling coziness.
