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 for this Edt are given as one group rather than a pyramid: amber, sandalwood, rose, patchouli and lavender. Amber brings a warm, resinous sweetness, and sandalwood adds a creamy wood. Patchouli gives an earthy depth, while rose and lavender add floral and aromatic touches. The overall result is a warm, woody and masculine scent with a polished, smooth character.
