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

Its aromatic, fresh spicy and warm spicy composition leans towards spring and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its distinctive aromatic and warm spicy profile makes it a bit too bold for a quiet office, but it's a solid choice for casual outings and especially for dates. While it has some refined elements, its playful nature keeps it from being truly formal.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

It opens with a punch of cool mint and lavender, brightened by bergamot and a spicy hint of cardamom. The heart introduces a surprising orange blossom, softened by cinnamon and caraway. Finally, it settles into a warm, creamy embrace of vanilla, tonka bean, and amber, grounded by a woody cedar and sandalwood base, making for a signature aromatic-vanilla experience.
