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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Spring

Its violet floral, powdery and iris composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

While its actual performance is largely unknown, the luxurious and rare nature of this blend suggests it's best reserved for special occasions. It would be wasted on casual wear and is far too sophisticated for the office.

About

It's all about floral sophistication here. The delicate, powdery kiss of iris mingles with the sweet, almost melancholic whisper of violet, creating a refined and elegant opening. This soft florality then melts into a rich, supple leather, grounded by an earthy, slightly animalic depth that adds a darker, more intriguing edge. A truly distinctive and luxurious composition.
