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.

About

The notes are not given in tiers: leather, ylang-ylang, birch and frankincense. Leather and birch bring a dry, smoky and slightly tarry quality, while ylang-ylang adds a creamy, heady floral sweetness. Frankincense lends a resinous, airy depth. Cuir Ylang is an eau de parfum with a smooth but serious character, mixing smoke and flower into something luxurious and a little mysterious.
