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 Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its warm, sensual nature makes it ideal for dates and comfortable casual wear. While some find it subtle enough for office, the amber and powdery accords can be a bit much for professional settings. It's definitely not a sport scent.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Opens with a potent, creamy jasmine, leading into a warm, inviting heart of sandalwood. The dry down is a blend of powdery notes and a sensual ambergris, creating a cozy and slightly animalic aura. There's a persistent debate whether vanilla and musk are also present, adding to a perceived 'bubblegum' or 'play dough' sweetness by some.
