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

Passion opens with a decadent splash of rich cognac and dark rum, evoking an immediate sense of warmth and luxury. This boozy introduction smoothly transitions into a smoky heart of frankincense, adding a sophisticated, almost ceremonial depth. The dry down is a comforting embrace of warm amber, softened by a touch of spicy saffron, creating a lingering and addictive aroma.
