This is a bit of a hidden gem that divides opinion with its unique gin and wood combo, but those who love it, really love it. Performance is a strong suit, making it a powerful winter night out choice.

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.

Its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, combined with its dark, intense character, make it more suitable for evening and cooler weather occasions. While some suggest it's office-friendly, its distinctiveness and projection might be too much for daily wear in a professional setting.

About

Opens with a distinctive boozy hit of gin, quickly moving into a darker, more sophisticated heart where the mysterious blackwood blends with the powdery elegance of iris. The dry down is a rich, earthy embrace of patchouli and the resinous depth of labdanum, creating a warm, sensual, and slightly smoky finish.
