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.

Its cosy, spicy sweetness lends itself well to cooler weather and intimate settings. While some find its sillage potent, others report poor longevity, keeping its office suitability moderate. It's too warm and dense for sport.

About

Imagine stepping into a winter wonderland where candied orange and sweet honey mingle with a comforting embrace of gingerbread. A warm, spicy heart of cinnamon and star anise then unfolds, woven through with a vintage rose, avoiding anything too sweet or cloying. Finally, a soft vanilla base provides a smooth landing, echoing the festive gourmand notes throughout. It's a journey from sparkling zest to a deep, comforting warmth.
