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

20 Carats is listed as one long set of notes with no pyramid, and it reads like a dense, dark oriental. Whisky, tobacco and cherry give a boozy, slightly sweet character, while carnation, nutmeg, cinnamon and star anise bring plenty of spice. Myrrh and resins add a smoky depth, with oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver giving an earthy base, and musk, tonka bean and orange smoothing the edges. It is a rich, spicy and resinous scent.
