Haute Fragrance Company Great Way is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Benoît Bergia. Great Way opens with Sichuan Pepper, Cardamom, Ginger, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Date, Magnolia, Ambergris, and Cannabis, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Oud. Haute Fragrance Company's Great Way carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, mate. If you're after a bold, quirky scent with a prominent cannabis note, you'll dig it. But if sweet, heady concoctions aren't your jam, steer well clear. Definitely try before you buy.

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 Casual

Its moderate performance makes it suitable for evenings out, particularly dates or casual gatherings in cooler weather. The unique, prominent cannabis note and inherent sweetness might be too much for a formal setting or an office environment.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Opens with a spicy kick of Sichuan pepper and ginger, warmed by cardamom and saffron, setting a vibrant, exotic tone. The heart introduces a surprising blend of sweet date, creamy magnolia, and a distinct, green cannabis note, grounded by ambergris. This leads into a rich, woody base of earthy oud and smooth sandalwood, delivering a complex and slightly smoky finish.
