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 heavy dose of tonka, sandalwood, vanilla, and amber makes this a powerhouse for cold weather and nights, shining in fall and winter. It can work in spring if applied lightly, but is too rich, sweet, and warm for most summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its projection and sweetness make it a bold choice for formal evenings and dates. It may overwhelm in the office or sporty settings, but works for nights out or when you want to be noticed.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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
