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

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and lasting power make it less suitable for an office, where subtlety is key. However, these qualities, combined with its romantic and exotic appeal, make it ideal for date nights and formal events. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless you aim to make a statement.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

A potent Bulgarian rose takes centre stage, wrapped in a warm, spicy embrace. The star anise adds an unexpected herbal, almost green, facet that dances around the rich floral heart. As it settles, the initial intensity softens to a creamy, rounded rose, retaining just enough spice to keep things interesting. It's a full-bodied, enveloping fragrance with remarkable depth.
