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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on woody, patchouli and earthy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its blend of clean woods and subtle spice makes it versatile enough for daily wear, leaning towards casual and a smart-casual office setting. While it can work for a date, the strong woody and earthy notes might be a bit much for very formal events. It's definitely not 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.

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 bright, peppery sparkle from pink pepper and bergamot, rounded out by a hint of warm, spicy cardamom. The heart introduces a distinctly rugged and mature leather, balanced by the herbal freshness of clary sage. It settles into a deep, earthy base of vetiver and patchouli, softened by the clean, woody embrace of cedar. It's a scent that evokes a sense of well-worn comfort with a sophisticated edge.
