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.

Its potent amber and musky accords, coupled with a strong sillage mentioned by some, lean it away from office wear. However, its complex and intriguing character makes it surprisingly versatile, suitable for a confident person on a date or even a formal event if applied sparingly, though it's too heavy for sport.

About

Attaquer le Soleil is a deep dive into labdanum's many faces. It opens with an almost camphorous, balsamic blast, reminiscent of conifer forests or antique wood. This quickly evolves into a rich, resinous amber, sometimes hinting at a dirty smokiness or even a metallic tang. As it settles, a surprising sweetness emerges, intertwined with waxy nuances and an earthy, almost dusty musk, evoking ancient churches or a well-worn leather.
