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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Casual

The powerful incense opening and strong sillage make it less suitable for formal settings, while its comforting warmth suits casual wear. It's a bit too intense for dates, but could work in an office environment if your colleagues aren't incense adverse.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

At first spritz, Capricorn unleashes a powerful wave of incense and smoke, reminiscent of a crackling fire on a cold evening. The heart unfolds with warm, balsamic labdanum and fir resin, evoking the comforting scent of a winter forest. As it settles, a rich base of amber, guaiac wood, and sweet vanilla adds depth and complexity, creating a lingering, almost mystical aura. The fragrance is both warm and evocative, inviting you to lose yourself in its unique charm, transforming from a fierce opening to a smoother, sophisticated dry down.
