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

Epices Sultanes opens with a vibrant, almost boozy burst of dried fruits and bright bergamot, quickly ushering in a rich, spicy heart. Here, the opulent rose intertwines with exotic saffron and a touch of green geranium. As it settles, a warm base of amber and vanilla emerges, grounded by earthy patchouli, musky oud, and creamy sandalwood, creating a deep and enveloping aroma.
