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.

With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, this scent is a bit much for the office but shines on dates and formal evenings. Its warmth and vintage charm make it less suited for casual daytime wear or sport.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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 hint of bright bergamot that quickly gives way to a dominant, surprisingly sweet amber, often described as 'deliciously boozy'. The patchouli here isn't the earthy, dirty kind, but rather a refined, almost floral take on the note, blending seamlessly into a warm, leathery base. It’s a rich, deep scent with a vintage charm, settling into a smooth, slightly spicy dry-down.
