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.

Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Date Formal

This fragrance is a statement-maker, making it less suitable for office wear where subtlety is key. Its powerful, sensual amber and white floral accords sing on a date or for formal events, offering an air of undeniable glamour.

Declarable allergens

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly prickly blend of star anise and rose, setting a sophisticated tone. The heart unfurls into a rich, heady orange blossom, softened by a whisper of ginger, adding a warm, spicy floral depth. It all settles into a luxurious base of creamy amber and sweet vanilla, creating a deeply sensual and inviting aura that lingers beautifully.
