Given its strong, smoky, and indolic white floral accords, Pompeii is far too dominant for an office setting. It's best suited for evening wear, especially on dates or more formal events where its unique character can shine without overwhelming.

About

Pompeii opens with a surprising, boozy hit of red wine, quickly spiced up by clove. As it settles, a prominent, almost suffocating smoky aura emerges, beautifully intertwined with the heady, indolic richness of jasmine and tuberose. The dry down is a warm, musky embrace, softened by amber and a touch of sweet vanilla, lingering like a ghost of a forgotten feast. It's a complex, challenging scent, not for the faint of heart, but utterly compelling.
