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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage mean it can be a bit much for close-quarter office environments. However, its unique and sensual profile makes it ideal for dates and more casual, artistic outings, with some finding it too sweet for formal settings.

About

Kimonanthe opens with a bold, almost medicinal camphor note, swiftly followed by a rich, jammy osmanthus and apricot accord that feels both sweet and tart. As it settles, warm, grounding spices like clove and incense emerge, weaving through a soft, lived-in leather and creamy sandalwood base. It's a complex journey from initial sharp sweetness to a comforting, subtly smoky drydown.
