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
Also Works:
Spring

The rich, resinous, and woody character with deep warm spice makes this a powerhouse for cold weather, especially fall and winter. Its density may feel overpowering in heat, but it transitions well in early spring evenings.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Commanding projection and opulent warmth suit formal occasions and dressed-up evenings. The brooding incense and patchouli make it less versatile for office or sport, but it works for confident date nights.
