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
Also Works:
Spring

The dense incense, amber, leather, and smoky woods make this an ideal choice for fall and winter, radiating warmth and richness in cool weather. Its power and spice may be too much for summer but work for cool spring evenings.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This bold, resinous scent is best for formal, evening, or date settings where its smoky richness shines. It's too commanding and dense for office or sports but can work for casual nights out.
