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.

About

The opening is spicy and fresh, with cinnamon leaf, pepper and bergamot. The heart turns sweet, with caramel, davana and geranium adding a fruity, slightly floral edge. The base is soft and creamy, with vanilla absolute, tonka bean and musk. It moves from sharp spice to a rounded, sugary base. The overall feel is warm, inviting and gourmand.
