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.

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

Opening with a bold burst of citrusy bergamot and orange, quickly warmed by a noticeable cinnamon spice. The heart unfolds into a rich blend of leathery vetiver and earthy patchouli, providing a deep, masculine core. The dry down is a resinous embrace of amber and woody notes, offering a sensual, slightly sweet warmth that lingers on the skin.
