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
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and relatively smooth profile make it acceptable for an office, while the sensual oud-raspberry-leather combo is perfect for dates. It's versatile enough for casual wear, though perhaps a bit too distinct for very formal events, and definitely not suited for sport.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Verticaloud opens with a luscious burst of raspberry, quickly intertwined with the rich, leathery embrace of saffron. As it settles, a soft, powdery rose emerges, harmoniously blending with a subtle, wearable oud that avoids being overly medicinal or heavy. The overall effect is a smooth, slightly fruity, and sophisticated leather-oud experience that’s surprisingly versatile.
