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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate sillage and warm, spicy character make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual evening wear, particularly in cooler weather. It's a bit too bold and distinct for an everyday office scent and definitely not suited for sport.

About

The notes for this scent are given as one group, not split into top, heart and base: spicy notes, incense, clary sage, sage, woody notes, oakmoss and amber. Together they point to an herbal, smoky and woody scent, with amber adding some warmth. It was created by Bertrand Duchaufour, and it reads as dry and earthy rather than sweet.
