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:
Spring Fall Winter

The sweet vanilla and caramel, creamy florals, and powdery gourmand character shine in cooler weather, making this ideal for fall and winter, but it can also be worn in spring for a comforting yet radiant effect. The richness and warmth can be cloying in hot summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its addictive sweetness and moderate boldness make it a standout for dates and evening occasions, while the sophisticated floral-gourmand balance works for casual and formal settings. It's too opulent and enveloping for sport or gym scenarios, and can be a bit much for close-quarters office wear.

About

Juicy bergamot and pear brighten the opening, while cashmeran and cedar add subtle depth to the base. The result is a sophisticated yet playful gourmand floral, radiating warmth and sensuality-perfect for making a lasting impression in cooler months or evening hours. Comforting, elegant, and deliciously addictive.
