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 Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and warm, inviting nature make it versatile for most settings, especially dates and semi-formal events. While not loud, its distinct character might be a bit much for a very conservative office, and it's definitely not one for the gym.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Imagine stepping into a refined, softly lit study. The initial hit is a rich, warm whisky, quickly followed by the comforting embrace of cedar. A hint of rose softens the edges, preventing it from being too masculine, while beeswax adds a waxy, intriguing depth. Pimiento provides just a flicker of spicy warmth, creating a sophisticated yet incredibly cosy aroma that lingers beautifully.
