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

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its intimate sillage and subdued nature make it perfectly suited for casual wear and close encounters like a date, where it won't overwhelm. Due to its reduced intensity, it's also a safer bet for office environments than its stronger predecessors. However, its lack of projection makes it less ideal for formal settings where a more impactful scent might be desired.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It opens with a soft, sweet almond, wrapped in creamy vanilla that feels both comforting and slightly mysterious. A hint of star anise adds an intriguing, almost spicy depth, preventing the gourmand sweetness from becoming cloying. As it settles, a gentle, powdery warmth emerges, laced with soft jasmine and a subtle woody embrace of sandalwood and musk. It's a delicate skin scent, an intimate caress of vanilla and almond.
