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.

This perfume's long-lasting wear and moderate sillage, combined with its warm, spicy-gourmand profile, make it ideal for date nights and casual autumn/winter wear. Its unique character might be a bit much for a formal setting or the office, and it's definitely not a gym scent.

About

Northern Love opens with an inviting burst of spiced warmth, driven by speculoos, cinnamon, and nutmeg, with a hint of intriguing saffron. This gourmand delight soon mellows into a heart of creamy vanilla and delicate jasmine, before settling into a rich, sophisticated base. Here, notes of soft leather, earthy sandalwood, and balsamic styrax create a refined, woody finish that elevates the initial sweetness into something truly special.
