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 subtle yet persistent nature makes it excellent for office wear, as noted by community reviews. The warmth of amber and patchouli lends itself well to date nights and formal events, though its understated projection might get lost in very loud settings.

About

Opens with an elegant sweep of amber, quickly joined by the earthiness of patchouli. A distinct, almost smoky guaiac wood provides a touch of dry warmth, lending a refined, slightly aged feel. The composition settles into a suede-like finish, rich and comforting, with a subtle woody undercurrent that persists long after the initial spray.
