Dossier It Factor is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. It Factor opens with Cardamom and Ginger, settles into a heart of Musk, Violet, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Brown Sugar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Dossier's It Factor carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive and wildly inconsistent, It Factor swings between a spicy, smoky vanilla dream and an aggressive, headache-inducing disaster. Some adore its warm seduction, while others get nothing but sour pickles or cheap cologne. Proceed with extreme caution and definitely test before you buy.

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 Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

The strong, potentially overwhelming opening makes it a risk for close-quarters office wear. Its warm, sensual dry down is perfect for dates, while the casual sweetness makes it suitable for relaxed outings. However, it's generally too bold and sweet for formal events or sports.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • 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 Factor opens with a fiery kick of ginger and cardamom, quickly softened by a powdery violet and an intriguing smoke from the incense. The heart gives way to a sweet, comforting blend of brown sugar and creamy vanilla, grounded by warm sandalwood and tonka bean. It's a journey from bold spice to a cozy, almost gourmand embrace, with musky undertones throughout.
