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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This scent's sensual rose and woody oud profile, coupled with its notable presence, makes it ideal for evenings and special occasions like dates and formal events. While versatile for milder evenings, its distinct depth is generally too bold for everyday office wear or casual outings.

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.

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

Noctambule opens with the lush, slightly jammy sweetness of Grasse rose, immediately cut with a whisper of spicy pink pepper and a surprising, almost animalic hint of cumin. This intriguing start quickly deepens into the dry, papery woodsiness of papyrus, leading to a sophisticated, clean oud in the base. The overall effect is a dark, woody rose that feels both ancient and utterly contemporary, with a subtle wine-like nuance.
