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.

Its moderate sillage and well-balanced earthy-woody accords make it surprisingly office-safe with light application, and ideal for casual wear where its comforting scent can be appreciated. While it has character, it's not overtly formal, nor is it suited for energetic activities.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • 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

Opens with a rich, dark burst of myrtle and cedar, quickly settling into the star of the show: a deep, woody patchouli that's both earthy and subtly chocolatey. Hints of myrrh add a warm, balsamic depth, while creamy sandalwood and a whisper of vanilla in the dry down soften the edges, creating a comforting, mossy embrace that lingers beautifully.
