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 winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date

Its extreme strength and divisive nature make it a poor choice for office or casual wear. It could be an audacious statement on a date or for a dramatic formal event, but its overwhelming presence means it's not universally appropriate.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Imagine a rich red rose, its petals bruised and entwined with dark, earthy patchouli. This isn't your grandma's floral; it's steeped in musky animalic hints and the dry, smoky whisper of tobacco, underpinned by an oddly metallic edge that adds a visceral, almost ancient quality. A unique, potent creation for those who dare.
