ID Parfums Secrets de Hammam is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Alexandra Kosinski. Secrets de Hammam opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of White Flowers, Cedar, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sweet Notes, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. ID Parfums's Secrets de Hammam carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, divisive even. Some find it a unique, fresh take on woodiness; others, well, they'd rather send it back. Definitely not a blind buy.

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
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate performance and balanced notes make it suitable for casual daytime wear, leaning towards autumn. While not overpowering for the office, its unique character might be a bit too 'different' for very formal settings.

About

It opens with a zesty sparkle of bergamot and mandarin, quickly spiced up by a hint of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a soft bouquet of white flowers, with the creamy, exotic touch of ylang-ylang and the grounding presence of cedar. The dry down is a warm, musky embrace, sweetened by amber and benzoin, with a gentle earthiness from patchouli and sandalwood.
