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:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its long-lasting performance and rich, warm profile make it a standout for dates and formal events. While versatile enough for casual wear, its presence might be a bit much for a typical office setting, and it's certainly not suited for sport.

About

This is a sophisticated, warm scent that opens with a fresh, aromatic burst of lavender and anise, brightened by bergamot. As it settles, a rich, spicy heart emerges with cinnamon and cardamom, balanced by delicate florals and a surprising hint of fruitiness. The base wraps you in a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and warm amber, underpinned by earthy oakmoss and cedar, creating a smooth, long-lasting drydown that feels both classic and inviting.
