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.

With strong sillage and impressive longevity, this fragrance is perhaps too assertive for the office. However, its sophisticated and rich character makes it perfect for date nights and formal events, leaving a memorable impression. It's also suitable for cooler casual settings where its depth can be appreciated.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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 an immediate hit of robust, dry wood, swiftly joined by a warm, enveloping amber. Earthy patchouli and rustic oakmoss provide a deep, grounding foundation, while Peru Balsam adds a resinous, subtly sweet undertone that rounds out the composition. This is a scent that evokes a dark, ancient forest, rich with history and hidden depths, feeling both powerful and comforting.
