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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'monster performance' and 'nuclear' sillage, this isn't for the faint of heart, or for the office. It screams special occasions, making a statement at formal events or on an intimate date night where its sensuality can truly shine.

About

Opening with a sharp, fiery kick of black pepper and luxurious saffron, this fragrance immediately asserts its bold character. The heart reveals a surprising, delicate lily of the valley, a fresh counterpoint before the deep, earthy base takes over. Rich oud, smoky tobacco, and damp moss combine with woody facets for a potent, sophisticated dry-down.
