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 strong sillage and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office environments, but it excels on dates due to its warm, sensual appeal. It's too distinct and heavy for sport, and its unique character might not suit all formal settings.

About

Opens with a surprisingly sharp, almost fresh lavender kick, quickly settling into a rich, spicy heart where cinnamon and coriander weave through. The base is a smooth, warm oriental blend of creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and green vetiver. It manages to feel both classic and modern, with a comforting, almost hug-like warmth as it dries down.
