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:
Spring Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with rich white floral and powdery accords, make it less suited for an office environment. However, these same characteristics, along with its statement-making presence, mean it shines for evening dates and formal occasions. Reviewers also noted it's perfect for autumn and winter evenings.

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.

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

About

Opening with a sweet, almost juicy concoction of orange blossom, pear, and mandarin, it quickly introduces a spicy kick from star anise. The heart blossoms into a creamy white floral bouquet dominated by tuberose and ylang-ylang, softened by powdery iris and the subtle sweetness of plum. The base settles into a warm, inviting blend of vanilla and sandalwood, with a hint of cinnamon giving it depth and a cosy, slightly musky finish.
