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

This woody, spicy concoction opens with an intense, almost piercing greenness, swiftly mellowing into a rich heart of aromatic tobacco and earthy cedar. Hints of cypriol oil and wormwood weave in a mysterious, complex depth, grounded by a powerful patchouli base that lingers for ages. It's a statement scent, demanding attention with its refined, masculine character.
