A lost gem from the early 90s, this is a smooth, sophisticated fougere that's still turning heads and sparking compliments. Shame it's so hard to find now, as it's a classy alternative to modern generic offerings.

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.

About

Opens with a bright, clean burst of fruity notes and bergamot, softened by aromatic lavender and green galbanum. The heart blossoms with a sophisticated blend of fir, rose, and jasmine, offering a refined floral masculinity. It dries down to a warm, inviting base of Virginia cedarwood, amber, and earthy oakmoss, with a hint of creamy tonka bean, leaving a lasting elegant trail.
