Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

While some find it versatile enough for daily wear, its sophisticated and rich woody-spicy profile, coupled with moderate to good performance, makes it best suited for formal events and dates, rather than casual or sporty settings. It’s certainly not a 'beast mode' scent for the office, maintaining an air of refined presence.

About

Opens with a vibrant, clean burst of lavender, aldehydes, and tart bergamot, underpinned by aromatic juniper and green notes. The heart quickly unfolds into a complex bouquet of orris, rose, and peppery spices, warmed by an earthy patchouli. It settles into a rich, velvety base of creamy sandalwood, musky oakmoss, and deep amber, radiating an air of refined, woody warmth that lingers beautifully.
