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
Also Works:
Spring

The dense resins, amber and smoky balsamic facets suit cold fall and winter air, enveloping the wearer in warmth and opulence. Spring evenings work if you crave boldness, but the richness and minimal freshness make it heavy for summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Best for formal events, romantic evenings, and occasions where you want to project confidence and luxury. Projection and richness make it less suitable for day-to-day office or sport settings.

About

The Heart of Leo opens with the luscious darkness of blackcurrant, immediately wrapped in a cloak of golden incense and balsamic myrrh. The heart pulses with smoky, spicy resin, while the ambered base smolders with labdanum and woods. Sweetness from the fruit is tempered by the mystique of incense and liquorice undertones, creating a scent that is both opulent and introspective. Sensual, contemplative, and undeniably luxurious, it leaves an unforgettable trail of power and depth.
