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

Opening with a sweet, almost edible hit of caramel and cinnamon, This is not Caffeine quickly blends into a creamy coconut. The heart introduces a surprising freshness from mint and sage before diving into a rich, roasted coffee note, warmed by ginger and tonka bean. The base lingers with a luxurious blend of vanilla and benzoin, rounded out by a smooth leather and a hint of ambergris for a sophisticated finish.
