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

Smart Black opens with a brief whisper of fresh bergamot and lavender before diving headfirst into a rich, spicy heart. Cardamom and cinnamon intertwine with earthy patchouli and aromatic sage, creating a complex, inviting warmth. The dry down is a gourmand dream, settling into a creamy praline and amber base, softened by musk and the dark, enigmatic touch of ebony wood and tolu balsam. It's a comforting yet sophisticated blend.
