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.

Given its long-lasting performance and strong sillage, this scent is likely too potent for a professional office setting. It shines in evening and cooler weather scenarios like dates and formal events, where its complex, masculine character can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

About

Moods by Krizia Uomo bursts forth with a potent wave of aldehydic freshness and zingy ginger, quickly joined by an aromatic blend of lavender, cardamom, and coriander, giving it a unique cola-like or subtly medicinal edge. As it evolves, a rich floral heart emerges with spicy carnation, rose, and geranium, lending an unexpected depth. The true character unfolds in the base, where a dominant, earthy patchouli intertwines with robust leather, warm amber, and smoky oakmoss, smoothed by vanilla and tonka bean for a captivating and long-lasting finish.
