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.

Spring Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity makes it acceptable for an office, though its bold, classic leather character leans more towards formal events or sophisticated dates. It's a bit too refined for casual wear and definitely not suited for sport.
