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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its rich, deep, and somewhat animalic character, particularly in the base, makes it better suited for evening and formal wear. The citrus opening offers some versatility, but it's generally too intense for casual or sporty settings.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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 classic with a twist. It opens with a bright burst of citrus-fresh bergamot and lemon, quickly softened by powdery iris and elegant rose. The heart deepens into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver and patchouli, leading to a rich, warm base. Here, smoky incense and deep vanilla mingle with animalic civet and smooth leather, rounded out by balsamic opoponax and creamy sandalwood for a truly opulent finish.
